Dancer for over 15 years with the Ex Nihilo urban dance company. She created the Compagnie Abdel Blabla with François Bouteau.

For this 6th edition, she presents “Quelques fois quelque chose là” (Sometimes something there), a solo choreographic performance, co-produced by Klap Maison pour la Danse and Marseille Objectif Danse – a creation that explores the suspension of thought, the perception of the sensitive and the living, the corporality of consciousness that becomes an experience of the Body (October 11)

A collective performance for the public space. She deepens the choreographic work begun during the Plus Belles de Mai festival with local women, offering them workshops around the creation “Légitime Présence” as part of the Labo des Désirs. (October 12)

Tchina is a member of the Compagnie DK-Bel, made up of disabled and able-bodied dancers.

Invited to take part in Plexus Rouge 2022, he made his mark on the urban space of Belle de Mai with his performance “Cross”, inspired by his personal story of clandestine migration.

In 2023, he was invited for a 10-day residency to work with the women of Belle de Mai on their stories of exile. The collective choreographic performance “Frontières” was presented as part of Plexus Rouge at La Friche and in the public space.

For this 6th edition, Tchina and wheelchair dancer Miché have created a powerful choreographic duet exploring the many possibilities of an “impeded” body. The duet will be followed by a choreographic performance by Tchina.

Multi-disciplinary artist Magali Revest offers tailor-made performances
in public spaces and atypical venues such as art galleries and museums.
As artistic director of her own company, she develops artistic projects at the crossroads of disciplines workshops with all kinds of audiences. She shares and her artistic work in France, Europe and Quebec.

For this 6th edition of Plexus Rouge, she proposes “Vibration.s”, a choreographic performance: “I’ve lost your body, it slips, I run, I catch it, I miss it, I play with your skin, which has disappeared from mine, I body, I run, I lose. I trace an infinite in movement, body to body, disharmony in a tragic focus. I consolidate my body in the wobble of the fall. I return to gesture to understand the beauty of a why that’s missing. In a drawn space measuring 5 x 5m, I circulate, taking the road towards the advantage, towards the risk of something else. A ball of red wool, a path to be traversed in a tangle of line, thread and images, I place my luggage in the incandescent thread of a story that is beginning…”.

October 11 at La Friche Belle de Mai, Place des Horizons.

Anna Ten is a director, choreographer and author. In 2020, she founded Seule à Plusieurs, an experimental stage company combining dance, performance and documentary theater. With Josiane Vincent, the company’s performer and author, they are developing a choreographic performance entitled “Portrait d’une femme ordinaire dans un océan de coquelicots” (Portrait of an ordinary woman in an ocean of poppies).

This danced narrative pays tribute to a seventy-two-year-old woman. An invaluable witness to political movements in France and beyond, Josiane embodies both an invisible woman and a figure whose commitment has never wavered since May 68. This double persona merges into a single one, revealing the link between the personal and the political, where individual gestures contribute to collective history. Far from the dominant patterns of contemporary dance, Josiane embodies her real body with no pretensions to virtuosity.

She invites the spectator to plunge into the experience of sensory empathy, and to reactivate with her memories of dances, demonstrations and popular uprisings.

Her dancing, political body is a non-hierarchical repository for memories of twist, jerk and madison, of popular balls, of running away from netting and tear gas, of marching in the freezing cold.

This year’s edition is particularly interested in “lost” bodies. Artists with physical disabilities have the resources to transcend their differences and share a singular, empathetic vision of the world. Trusting these “lost bodies” is probably the best way to save the world; they enable us to find paths and open up avenues that might seem improbable, or even impossible.

Invite able-bodied artists and dancers with disabilities to take up residencies, to explore choreographic approaches to caring for people, creating supportive environments, enhancing people’s power to act, and valorizing and circulating everyone’s knowledge.

The aim is to continue the projects initiated by artists with local residents during the Les Plus Belles de Mai festival and to develop them as part of the Plexus Rouge A corps perdus, matin midi et soir event. This 6th edition reinforces the territorial networking approach. Taking over a café and the public space.

The programme will take place on Place des Horizons at La Friche Belle de Mai on Friday 11 October, then at Cinéma Le Gyptis and Place Caffo on Saturday 12 October, enabling a wide range of audiences to enjoy the performances.
