Boire les longs oublis
Boire les longs oublis (Drink the forgotten things) is inspired by Pirate and Diverts Arnold Böcklin's Painting : The Island of the Dead, which inspired Serge Rachmaninov's eponymous work. The choreographic piece is built in three movements: an exhibition, developments and variations, a re-exhibition and a coda.
Three spectacular forms: oratorio, cinematographic fragments, nocturnal can be seen from the same story of Valérie Sigward. By proposing a work around narration, a real process of transformation, this work by Alban Richard focuses on the notions of landmark phenomena and labyrinthine constructions. The text written for Boire les longs oublis develops multiple possibilities of interpretations, for it's a choreography of conflicts. No version is consistent and yet the disaster has already occurred ...

Richard, Alban
Alban Richard discovered contemporary dance while he was pursuing literary and musical studies. From the late 1990s, he worked for various choreographers such as Odile Duboc, Olga de Soto and Rosalind Crisp.
In 2000, Alban Richard founded Ensemble l'Abrupt for which he created about thirty very different pieces, always in close interaction with a musical work whose writing and formal structure he questioned. Consequently, each creation opens up new research and a new performance style, setting itself apart from the previous one. The way he develops his shows, using restricted improvisations to devise the work directly on stage, encourages the performers to become creators of their own dance.
Alban Richard has collaborated with the Alla francesca ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, the Ensemble intercontemporain, IRCAM and the Cairn, Instant Donné and Alternance ensembles, as well as with composers Arnaud Rebotini, Sebastian Rivas, Erwan Keravec, Jérôme Combier, Laurent Perrier, Raphaël Cendo, Robin Leduc, Paul Clift, Wen Liu and Matthew Barnson.
A prolific choreographer, Alban Richard is regularly invited by ballets and companies, both internationally (Canada, Lithuania, Norway) and in France, to create commissioned works.
Since 2015 he has been artistic director of the centre chorégraphique national de Caen en Normandie, with a project based on both his practice as an author and on connecting with the territory and its inhabitants.

Simon, Nicolas
Initiated to music and cinema by his two older brothers Nicolas Simon quickly becomes a cinephile and begins to direct short films as a teenager.
After a training in audiovisual professions at ESRA Bretagne, where he directed two short films in 16 millimeters, he met Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh in 2004 and discovered contemporary dance. In 2008, he directed « Making Rainbow », which traces the five months of creation of the first edition of the show "Rainbow" in Rennes.
He then co-directed «Le Grand Éléphant - l’Aventure des Constructeurs» an incursion of nearly two years in the premises of the association "The Machine" to follow with its builders the birth of the Grand Elephant Island of Nantes .
While continuing to work regularly with many choreographers like Alban Richard or Daniel Dobbels, he has since made several documentaries, commercials or video clips as well as three seasons of the series « La Tête de l’Emploi » for France 3.
centre chorégraphique national de Caen en Normandie
A place for dance open to everyone, where people come to see, dance and talk.

It is a place shared with artists, residents, associations and cultural institutions, a place open to artistic creation and the contemporary repertoire.
