In the vein of Jérôme Deschamps and Macha Makeïeff (La Famille Deschiens) or even Philippe Katerine – with whom the former worked – Mathilde Monnier and Maria Ribot take us into their poetic universe, on the border of dance, burlesque and crazy.
In Gustavia (September 23 and 24), this radical and virtuoso female duo offers a hybrid show where theatrical sequences mix with choreography.
Monnier and “La Ribot” – her nickname – explore voyeurism, anger and many other human failings with merciless humor. It’s strong, demanding and, as they say, “it’s a blast”!
No wonder: Mathilde Monnier directs the Montpellier choreography center and “La Ribot” has just received a Golden Lion for her entire career, at the Biennale Danza di Venezia 2020.
Between them, these powerful women have created and brought nearly 100 works to the French and international scene. In short, they “manage”.
At the Carreau du Temple, the 2020-2021 season of contemporary dance is starting (very) well.

NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Millet, from the mountains to the Marais
From the top of this outdoor and technical clothing store, a hundred years of family history gaze down upon you. Created in 1921 in Chamonix, the Millet brand is still managed by the family of the same name. It is therefore a bit of French heritage and know-how that arrives from the Alps to settle in the Marais…
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
