Newtopia +++ : Dream-walking 

Mai-June 2017 : Two months loaded with 4 (!) Newtopia sessions. A real festival! This singular project continues to evolve for the 4th consecutive year. It is a series of artistic and choreographic events realized through a collaboration, between amateur and professional artists in a long term partnership, with the psychiatric department of the CHRU of Tours.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The last of the 4 series will be presented at the Pléiade on May 17th, at 20H30 and Newtopia 5 will begin right after :

Newtopia 4.4 / Disinform!

Une soirée composée de deux performances chorégraphiques. Une par des professionnels et des amateurs, musiciens et danseurs et une par des étudiants et des salariés de l’Université d’Orléans (SUAPSE). Une exploration d’états de corps en quête de nouveaux mondes, en résonance avec les préoccupations sociales et écologiques de ses participants. Silences explosifs, lenteurs qui émerveillent, révoltes chantées, danses extasiées..

AU PROGRAMME :

Form -Dis(in)form (40min) / Choreographic and musical performance 

Direction : Dimitri TSIAPKINIS, Co-authors – Performers : Emilie COUDERE, Bruno MORIN, Rosa PIRES DE MATOS, Keely SIGOT, Dimitri TSIAPKINIS, Lights & Stage management : Marine POURQUIÉ, Music : Keely SIGOT

Concept : The framework, the form, the norm, the political manipulations of public opinion : are we approaching a time when chaos was inevitable? A disintegration of old forms that gives way to new paradigms?

Moon Eaters II (25min) / Choreographic  performance
by the students and employees of the University of Orléans / SUAPSE 

Co-produced by the CCN of Orléans 

Direction : Dimitri TSIAPKINIS, Performers :  Vanessa CHENINI, Atiti COMTÉ, Nana Efua ENYIMAYEW, Doriane LIGER, Alice LOMBARD, Catherine MUNIER, Clémence PRÉVAULT, Eve-Marie TISSIER, Eclairage/régie technique : Marine POURQUIÉ.

Concept : After a sensitive but also explosive first version by the team of the University of St. John of York (Flight Effect) and a tour in Northern England, here is a new (re-) interpretation, reconstructed on the same themes: the Notion of “folly”, archetypes of the feminine, limit states, trance, transgressions, social cohesion, singularity …This time the dancers come from the University of Orléans. They will actively participate in the construction of the choreographic content – like their English comrades – by bringing in movement, texts and dramaturgical suggestions.
