Quai de l'arrivée [remontage 2017]
An extract remodelled by Évidanse (Limoges), artistic manager Catherine Mounet, as part of the “Danse en amateur et repertoire” programme (2016) (a programme created to assist and promote amateur dancing).
The group
Created in 2013 in Limoges by Catherine Mounet, on completion of an amateur project led with the choreographer Hervé Koubi, this group consists of eight female dancers who attend the same contemporary dance class. Out of a variety of artistic projects, a collaboration with Sharon Fridman was particularly responsible for stimulating the young interpreters in their desire to take on creation and repertoire work. It was after the meeting with the choreographer Gisèle Gréau that the idea to discover the company Le Four Solaire, an historical facet of French contemporary dance, took root.
The project
In 1980, when Anne-Marie Reynaud and Le Four Solaire collective staged Quai de l’arrivée, for five interpreters and a saxophonist, the aim was to narrate the story of “characters in distress on a railway station platform at dawn”. This mixing of dance and theatre at the heart of a visual universe that is “dark, strange and wacky in which the absurd assumes a dominant role” stimulated the group, happy to immerse itself in a creation marked by surrealism and under the influence of German Expressionism. The powerful idea to pay tribute to Anne-Marie Reynaud also spurred on the work.
The choreographer
In 1976, the choreographer and pedagogue Anne-Marie Reynaud (1945-2009) founded, together with Odile Azagury, Le Four Solaire, a landmark company in the history of French dance, while also participating in 1974 in Carolyn Carlson’s GRTOP (Opéra de Paris Theatrical Research Group). Her shows, bubbling over with surrealist fantasy and finely balanced antics, were presented both in theatres and in the streets alfresco. Of a sharing and caring nature, she diversified her activities, nominated as director first of Îles de Danses in 1995 and then of the Training and Pedagogical department of the Centre national de la danse in Pantin in 1998. In 2005, she custom-designed for Pedro Pauwels the solo Pliages, which would be her last choreography.
Reynaud, Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie Reynaud (1945-2009) began dancing at Irène Popard’s school, then with Martha Graham in London, then joined Catherine May Atlani’s Ballets de la Cité in 1973 and the GRTOP (Paris Opera theatrical research group) in 1974, where she performed Carolyn Carlson’s ballets. In 1976, she founded the Four Solaire with Odile Azagury. The Nevers-based company became a National Choreographic Centre in 1989. In 1995, she was in charge of programming for the Paris region’s Île de Danse Festival and, in 1998, she became responsible for pedagogy at the CND (National Centre for Dance) until 2009.

Zeriahen, Karim
From live stage images to life in images, the director and video artist Karim Zeriahen seems to have found the shortest way. Since the beginning of the 90s, when he worked in close relationship with choreographer Philippe Decouflé, he learned how to put the art of stage in motion, contemporary dance most of the time. Karim Zeriahen then starts a fruitful collaboration with Montpellier based choreographer Mathilde Monnier. Stop, Videlilah, day of night, short films adapted from her stage creations. Each time, Karim Zeriahen's camera takes over the place with movement, the body language is not frozen but magnified. Choreographer Herman Diephuis also joins this gallery of dancing portraits. Documentaries on figures such like Albert Maysles or Hubert de Givenchy and from Joe Dalessandro to Paul Morrissey, he sets a signature, a camera always in action with confidence.
Today the director goes further with a new project and tracks the subtle movements of the body language beyond the physical appearance. A collection of living portraits as unique pièces reminding us of the master portraitists of renaissance. These living natures consists in filming the subject in a certain amount of time, almost still, with signs of respiration, eye blinks, as if it were posing for a painting. They are then displayed on a flat screen with a memory card. With this collection starting, Karim Zeriahen, with his documentary and artist vision, interrogates himself about the virtual world filled with images. By taking a pause, and his models with him, he questions the way we look at things, the way we look at life.

In the 1970s, artists’ drive towards a new classic had been ongoing for more than a half century and several generations had already formed since the Russian Ballets. As the years went by, everyone defended or defends classical dance as innovative, unique, connected to the other arts and the preoccupations of its time.
