The "body", a real cocoon that never ceases to shape itself over time. It acts as a common thread and links the nine paintings that make up this performance. Each part focuses on a body part, whether it be through constraint, oblivion, valorization or imagination.
Created for four dancers and five musicians, this piece mixes (in the first sense of the word) sound and gestures, and no one knows anymore who, from the body, from the instruments or from the musicality of the beings, leads the dance.

Three walls, a door, a table and magazines. A tasteless picture and a clock that never stops ticking...
Waiting rooms are part of our daily life and yet inexplicable things take place there. We never know how much time we spend there and everything seems amplified, as if plunged into a parallel dimension..
Created for the "Cartes Blanches au CNSMDL", Salle 608 is a duet about the strange world of waiting rooms.

Extracts from "Road to Stamping Ground" by Jiry Kylian / "Hagia Sofia" de Secret Chiefs 3 / "Human Tribe" d'Anakronic
Garance Wullschlegger
Human Tribe is a piece for nine dancers that focuses on the concept of group. Inspired by the tribal dances of the Dogon and Wacky peoples and other mask dances, the piece raises a fundamental question: How to keep one's individuality while being part of a group?
With electronic music from the groups Anakronic and Secret Chiefs 3, the group evolves and takes over the space without ever leaving a void.
Masks are an essential part of tribal traditions. Garance Wullschlegger, a former student at the ENSBA in Lyon, made nine masks inspired by emojis, Chinese and African masks. Each mask is different and yet marks a sign of belonging to the group.
The whole exercise of this creation is based on the dancers' balance in a group, a living community.

Every step is a fall, a discovery of a moving inner world, a short moment of suspending time. The path is deforming before our eyes and the unknown overwhelm us.
Create for the "Scénodanses", a collaborative project between ENSBA's space design students and CNSMDL's dancers, Déclinaisons is wobbly. With an heavy atmosphere, loss of balance and weightlessness, the audience lose the markers and the reality is distorded.

Guys. A wish of two friends to create a short piece with all their commons hobbies : jazz, humor and dance. The duet was created for the CNSMDL's "Cartes Blanches". Imagined as a tribute to musicals and american dance pieces as "Fancy Free" or "Who Cares ?", everything is smooth, jazzy and easygoing.
With this piece Grégoire Manhes began to work with his own musical compositions. He wrote five tunes for seven CNSMDL's musicians, inspired by Claude Bolling, Michel Legrand and Ludovic Bource.
