To mark the 30th annual Eurockéennes Festival in Belfort, VIADANSE – Centre chorégraphique national de Bourgogne Franche-Comté à Belfort (National Choreographic Centre of Burgundy and Franche-Comté in Belfort – CCN Belfort) invited 18 choreographers, representing the wide diversity in the field of choreography. The film director Nicolas Habas followed them on the natural site of Malsaucy, from the beginning of the preparations for the festival, and throughout it to the end. The choreographers took part in all that happened, everywhere it happened (stages, technical storage management areas, traffic routes, crowds of audiences, backstage…) resulting in danced portrayals that documented in a recreational manner the impressive machinery needed to bring about the event.

Clip #05 – shot on the structure of the Eurockéennes technicians catering marquee, with the trapeze artist Chloé Moglia from the Rizhome Company

As a performer Chloé Moglia infuses her practice in martial arts in her artistic way, developing through her work a singular exploration of the suspension art. Defending an embodied thought as much as a sensitive corporeality, it endeavors to deploy attention and acuity by linking physical practice, reflection and sensitivity. 

She confronts her complicit relationship to weightlessness and her confrontation with the void, in multiple aerial experiments. Solo or collective, her creationsplay with bodies, slowness, vertigo and the laws of physics. Summoning a taste for taking on risk and fear to be the stand of her performances, Chloé Moglia shows a staggering controlthat evokes as much fragility. She has been artistic director of Rhizome since its emergence in 2009.

 Nicolas Habas is a screenwriter, director, member of the collective Un Poil Court and author of the web-series anchored in dance, Le Corps dans la ville. 

The Association Rhizome promotes the artistic projects of Chloé Moglia. 
Founded in Brittany in 2009, it began its work on 1 January 2011. Its work is both regional and national, with a small amount also carried out abroad.

Until December 2010, Chloé Moglia co-directed, with Mélissa Von Vépy, the Cie Moglice-Von Verx, based in – and with financial support of – the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

Suspension, martial arts, writing and drawing are the subjects – or roots – on which Moglia's artistic approach is based. The combination of these has given rise to shows and performances that bring together the spheres of thought and feeling. 
The notion of sharing these ‘reflexive dreams’ with audiences, residents and the community is crucial, and constantly keeping alive the issue of meaning in our artistic work insofar as it questions its relevance to the social and political context to which it belongs.

407 performances took place between January 2011 and June 2015, regionally, nationally and even around Europe.
