♦ GUSTAVIA – LA RIBOT AND MATHILDE MONNIER
Dance
We do not forget that the Carreau du Temple is an important contemporary dance scene. The proof: Maria Ribot, one of the most charismatic performers in this field, questions the feminine in GUSTAVIA, with Mathilde Monnier. Which makes for a spectacle that is as comical as it is abrasive!
Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 September 2020

Tuesday, November 3th

♦ INNER VOICES (MANIFESTO) – YVES MWAMBA
Dance
This manifesto tells of dreams stifled in brutality.
We are talking here about the absence of running water, electricity for all, protection, education, free (and not rigged) voting, the forced enlistment of children in the army or to find raw material.
This makes sense when we know that Yves Mwamba comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country with significant reserves of lithium, gold, diamonds, copper, ivory, copal, etc.
The artist, accompanied on stage by Rébecca Kabugho and Pytshens Kambilo, here pays tribute to the activism of a pacifist and determined youth.
Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November 2020

♦ I’M GOING BACK ON THE STRAIGHT PATH – SYLVAIN RIÉJOU / ASSOCIATION CLICHÉ
Dance
Sylvain Riéjou is courageous, even reckless. When he wants to question nudity – in a false conference and a real choreography – the dancer bares himself directly but with a few – thin – subterfuges. We had seen his work after a residency at Le Carreau and had learned a nice lesson in destitution and modesty.
Thursday 3 and Friday 4 December 2020

♦ DINNER – JULIA PERAZZINI / CIE DEVON
Dance
When the exceptional actress, ventriloquist and transformist Julia Perazzini converses with her deceased brother, she fills the room with her powerful vital force to evoke our fear of death.

♦ ON THE TILE – YVES-NOËL GENOD
Music, dance

Le Carreau du Temple allows director Yves-Noël Genod to live a fantasy, create a show and perform it in the 1 m800 of the Hall in daylight.
This funny zebra who develops a theater full of poetry and without any artifice – or almost – will create here a performance marked by joy and casualness for a hundred amateur dancers.
Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 January 2021

This research, begun in 2017, produces an optical aberration made up of very rich geometric and chromatic distortions.

♦ SORRY, BOYS – MARTA CUSCUNÀ
circus arts

Based on an American news story where eighteen young girls decided to get pregnant at the same time and raise their children together without the fathers, Marta Cuscunà paints a contemporary portrait of feminism and new masculinities. With humor and lightness, Sorry, Boys denounces a society where patriarchy is king and calls for a humanist surge.
From Tuesday 4 to Thursday 6 May 2021

Sorry, boys, @Daniele Borghello

♦ EIGHTEEN – THIERRY MICOUIN
Dance

“Eighteen” evokes the father-daughter relationship through the experiences of Thierry Micouin and that of his daughter Ilana, both dancers and brought together on stage for a subtle duet. Both dialogue and dance, the piece revisits the history of contemporary dance, skillfully mixing intimacy and great history. A superb declaration of love to the profession of dancer.

Dance

The best tattoo parlors in Marais

The best tattoo parlors in Marais

Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
