An Egyptian man and woman stand on a rooftop in Down Town Cairo. Teargas from riots in the streets below rise up to the roof and gives an extreme physical memory of Cairo. One physical movement is repeated from beginning to end. Repeatedly. The two characters are seen distinctively. Their reactions and processes become magnified.
CHEST was created for an Egyptian man and woman during the riots and demonstrations in Cairo, Egypt 2013, and was shoot on a rooftop in Down Town Cairo. Teargas from riots in the streets below drew up to the roof and gave the shooting an extreme physical memory of Cairo.


Un homme et une femme égyptiens se tiennent sur un toit au centre-ville du Caire. Les gaz lacrymogènes des émeutes dans les rues du bas montent jusqu'au toit et donnent un souvenir physique extrême du Caire. Un mouvement physique est répété du début à la fin. De façon répétée. Les deux personnages sont vus distinctement. Leurs réactions et leurs processus s'amplifient.

The short film Carolina seeks to identify the place that Carolina Teixeira occupies in the social-political-cultural context in which we live. Framing this woman is giving visibility to countless women, northeastern Brazilians, artists, and disabled people in Brazil. From your point of view we can perceive a different world. Or the best translation of her world would be the dance that she carries in her relationship with space, matter, movement, in her own day life choreography?

Le court-métrage Carolina cherche à identifier la place qu'occupe Carolina Teixeira dans le contexte social, politique et culturel dans lequel nous vivons. Encadrer cette femme, c'est donner de la visibilité à d'innombrables femmes, à des Brésiliens du nord-est, à des artistes et à des personnes handicapées au Brésil. De votre point de vue, nous pouvons percevoir un monde différent. Ou la meilleure traduction de son monde serait la danse qu'elle porte dans son rapport à l'espace, à la matière, au mouvement, dans sa propre chorégraphie de vie quotidienne ?

A dance film dedicated to the architecture and urban scenery of Hong Kong, the incredible busy metropolitan and the prototype of numerous sci-fi films, in a poetic and abstract way. The cinematography and editing emphasize the structure of spaces in a graphical style. The dancer interacts with the extreme high skyline and narrow living spaces via solo dance. Without clearly showing her facial emotion and her real character, she presents the stress, the anxiety and the coldness from this dystopia city.

Un film dansé consacré à l'architecture et au paysage urbain de Hong Kong, l'incroyable métropole animée et le prototype de nombreux films de science-fiction, d'une manière poétique et abstraite. La cinématographie et le montage mettent en valeur la structure des espaces dans un style graphique. Le danseur interagit avec la ligne d'horizon extrêmement haute et les espaces de vie étroits par le biais d'une danse en solo. Sans montrer clairement son émotion faciale et son vrai caractère, elle présente le stress, l'anxiété et la froideur de cette ville dystopique.

"It is through movement that one appropriates one's own life. By the freedom to come and go, to make gestures of love, of anger, whatever. When you are deprived of movement as I am, if you want to survive, you have to reinvent movement differently". Benoît Labaye.


"C'est par le mouvement qu'on s'approprie sa propre vie. Par la liberté d'aller, de venir, d'avoir des gestes d'amour, de colère, peu importe. Quand on est privé de mouvement comme je le suis, si on veut survivre, il faut réinventer le mouvement autrement". Benoît Labaye.

A young woman wakes up to find that she has become weightless and floats through life and nature until gravity inevitably catches up with her. Why anyone would want to prevent us from flying around ... ?


Une jeune femme se réveille et flotte dans les airs, entourée de nature... jusqu'à être aspirée par un monde où règne la gravité, où on l'oblige à mettre les pieds sur terre. Pourquoi voudrait-on nous empêcher de voler... ?

**Un film du Anna Alexandre et Anthony Faye** Des jeunes danseurs vivant aux antipodes partagent une aventure inclusive unique pour apprendre à se découvrir au-delà de leurs différences, au-delà des handicaps. Entre la Loire et la Réunion, parcours intimes et construction collective, une équipe de professionnels passionnés les accompagnent dans cette histoire singulière qui les aidera à grandir et à montrer qu'ensemble, tout devient accessible.

Alone in a mirror factory, a man paints strange patterns on his body. Questioning his reflections, he loses touch with reality. So the evil that consumes him talks through his body which begins to move, dance, contort. Slowly he's falling apart, teetering between madness and lucidity.

Seul dans une fabrique de miroirs, un homme peint d'étranges motifs sur son corps. Interrogeant ses réflexions, il perd le contact avec la réalité. Alors le mal qui le consume parle à travers son corps qui se met à bouger, danser, se contorsionner. Lentement, il s'effondre, oscillant entre folie et lucidité.
