A creative project featuring encounters between six emerging performers and seasoned choreographers, resulting in six solo pieces that delve into intergenerational dialogues through varied artistic disciplines. “Fanfaron” by Thibault Lac and Collin Cabanis offers a melancholic reflection on the memory-laden remnants of a vagabond performer. Meanwhile, “After the silence [conversation with Vivian Maier]” by Delphine Hecquet and Clémentine Le Bas immerses itself in the world of the enigmatic photographer Vivian Maier, exploring her perspective and posthumous works. This stimulating initiative places the art of performance at the heart of the creative process.

SIX/SIX revives La Bâtie’s daring format in which six emerging performers—two from dance, four from theatre—each craft a solo with a chosen choreographer or director, renewing stage writing by putting the interpreter centre stage: in “Archaeology of a Phantom Dance,” Emma Perez, guided by Sophia Rodriguez, excavates the inherited gestures and erased presences embedded in her body, while in “Pièce de chambre,” Ali Lamaadli, accompanied by Lola Giouse, turns a playful memory game into an intimate exploration of personal and collective recollection.
