116th Dream

“I am about t’ sketch You a picture of what goes on around here some- times. though I don’t understand too well myself what’s really happening. my poems are written in a rhythm of unpoetic distortion/ divided by pierced ears (…) with a melodic purring line of descriptive hollowness — seen at times through dark sunglasses an’ other forms of psychic explosion.”
Bob Dylan

Η πρόθεση αυτής της δημιουργίας είναι να μεταδώσει μ’ έναν χορό και μια πρωτότυπη μουσική τέσσερα κομμάτια του Bob Dylan: Motorpsycho Nightmare, Bob Dylan’s 115th dream, Subterranean Homesick Blues και Love Minus Zero/No Limit. Αυτά αποκαλύπτουν μια πληθώρα χαρακτήρων που αναμειγνύονται σε παράλογες καταστάσεις. Με μια σουρεαλιστική διάθεση, το 116ο όνειρο είναι σαν όνειρο που ψάχνει να βρει εξήγηση, μια ανοιχτή πόρτα σε πολλαπλές ερμηνείες.

Choreography: Evita Pitara & Cédric Gagneur

Evita began ballet in a very young age and after graduating from the Central School of Ballet in London, she joined the Ballet Junior de Genève for two seasons. Cédric practiced Breakdancing for a few years and then joined the Ballet Junior at the same time. After the Ballet Junior, Evita dances in Geneva for Foofwa d’Immobilité, Perrine Valli, Cie Alias and in Athens for Giorgos Panteleakis. Meanwhile, Cédric entered the Bachelor in Contemporary Dance directed by Thomas Hauert at La Manufacture in Lausanne, continued to tour with the Cie Tenseï and created his first solo Labyrinthum. Over the last three years, Evita and Cédric have danced together in several projects, notably for the Festival Antigel and the Fête de la danse in Geneva. 116th dream is their first choreographic piece.
