Resulting from work in several stages, Cellula by Anthony Despras is a creation imagined following the global health crisis that we experienced from 2020. Through the presence of an entirely male community, this piece testifies to a collective subject to rules that could disrupt or even threaten the vital force but also freedom. This will result in an extreme physicality caused by the energy of the nineteen dancers on stage. The urgency to live and above all to survive will be translated by jazz, urban corporeality but also in connection with clubbing dance. The starting point of all creation being for Anthony Despras music, he connects these different aesthetics through a precise, even visceral, rhythmic musical treatment.

Since obtaining his Diplôme d'Etat de Professeur de Danse Jazz in 2010, Anthony has been passing on his passion for dance by giving workshops all over France and especially in Paris, a catalyst for the profession. 

Anthony was spotted during a course at the Centre des Arts Vivants in Paris. The production team and director of Joséphine Ange Gardien fell under the spell of his style and the atmosphere that emanated from his classes.  They offered her a 1st contract as a choreographer for a shoot in the popular TF1 series. His professionalism and the quality of his choreography quickly led to numerous collaborations.

He seized the opportunity offered by Disneyland Paris to establish his reputation. Starting out as a dancer on shows and various events, Disneyland asked him to choreograph major shows such as ‘Pirates and Princesses’, ‘#SurpriseMickey’ and many others.  Anthony has risen to the challenge and brought his own modern, contemporary style to the show, while incorporating the codes specific to the Disney universe.

In 2020, Anthony reached a new milestone when Anne-Marie Porras asked him to create a piece for a class in her Epsedanse professional training programme: ‘Les Nouveaux Sauvages’.

Buoyed by his success, he already has new creation requests for next year, including one with the Jeune Ballet de la Cie Anne-Marie Porras: N.I.D 2.

Mullor Abé began his career as an artist as a dancer, before moving into video. His work is particularly appreciated by choreographers because, as a dancer, he pays particular attention to the moving image and the way in which the camera can reveal its most singular dimensions.
