Come guardare il rapporto con l’Altro, questo duo si interroga sulla potenza della mancanza. La mancanza dell’Altro per (ri)costruirsi, rivelarsi… un rapporto con l’intimo.
Il gesto danzato, da soli o a due, offre una possibilità di incarnare ciò che resta dell’impronta dell’altro, ciò che persiste del contatto col partner quando non c'è più. Perché è quando l’Altro non è più presente che misuriamo la sua importanza?
Cosa c’è nel rapporto tra due corpi danzanti? La loro fiducia, la loro intraprendenza. Cosa resta del piacere? Del desiderio?
L’Autre invita il pubblico ad essere testimone delle manifestazioni dei diversi stati di persistenza. Dal delizioso ricordo fino al terribile oblio.
A collegare questi due danzatori e questa domanda, interviene una musicista carismatica, Vanessa Wagner, un programma di musica minimalista e un coinvolgimento, una complicità fisica e spirituale innegabile.
L’occasione unica di misurare l’impatto dell'interpretazione in diretta degli spartiti fino a farne una regola del gioco. Un trio!

As a look into the relationship with the other, this duet wonders about the power of absence. The absence of the other, in order to (re)build, reveal… a relationship with intimacy.
The danced gesture, "a solo" or in duet,, it offers a chance to incarnate what is left of the other’s imprint, what lingers of the contact with the partner when is gone. Why it’s when the other is no longer present that we measure his importance?
What’s in the relation between two dancing bodies? Their trust, their audacity. What is left of the pleasure? The desire?
L’autre offers to the audience a chance to witness the manifestations of various persistence states. From the sweet memory to the terrible oblivion.
In order to reconnect these two dancers to this question, a charismatic musical interpreter intervene in the person of Vanessa Wagner, a minimalistic music program and an engagement as an undeniable fisical and spiritual complicity.
A unique opportunity to measure the impact of the interpretation of the scores live, to the point of making it a rule for the game. A trio!

BIO-Le Ballet du Nord, CCN & Vous!

The Centre Chorégraphique National Roubaix - Hauts-de-France or Ballet du Nord is one of 19 National Choreographic Centers, a label by the French Ministry of Culture, and the only one founded in the Région Hauts-de-France.

Its main vocation is the creation, production and diffusion of choreographic works in the Région Hauts-de-France, in France and internationally. It welcomes more than 50 companies in residence every year, particularly  within the Accueil Studio project by the Ministry of Culture. In  parallel, it promotes a mission of awarness-raising about choreographic art and art education, mostly through its high-level dance school that welcomes about 180 students, from the introductory courses to the dance professor state diploma. Ballet du Nord, directed by Sylvain Groud since 2018, is the only CNN to have its own school.

Started by Sylvain Groud when he first started at the head of the structure, CCN & Vous! project is inherently linked to the mediation work and is particularly implemented on the local territory (Roubaix and the MEL), the regional territory (Hauts-de-France), as well as nationally and internationally.
