BE PART, PARADE,L'autre Maison, Andrew Graham, Festival de Marseille, Marseille,

PARADE is a realist ballet. The 18 performers of the company L’Autre Maison parade through fabricated scenic dimensions, in which situations of disability, migration, gender and identity are upset. With references to Music hall, cabaret reviews, circus and Queer ballrooms, the 18 performers from L’Autre Maison company perform a futuristic parade in a very Marseille style.

Readaptation of the surrealist ballet, PARADE by Cocteau, Picasso, Satie, Massine for the Ballets Russes is a repertoire work, key in the initiation of the avant-garde art movements. A strange paradox that has sparked for the choreographer Andrew Graham the desire to reclaim this ballet in a parade that imagines futur modernities. The dancers set themselves out on stage on frictions of bodies, sounds, words, objects, propelled by the musician Martin Poncet, visual artist Mounir Ayache, dramaturg Béatrice Pédraza and choreographer Andrew Graham. A historic ballet as a pretext for the emergence of new forms and values, where differences between dancers entwine, generating connections bolstered by the richness and complexity those differences provoke.
