Cris de corps
To enter into the creation process of “O.More”, a work created in 2001 by Bernardo Montet, is to retrace a journey. In Senegal and then in Brest, Céline Serrano accompanies the choreographer and the interpreters in their research, capturing moments of dance, exchanges and reflection. The bodies dance on sand, while the interpreters read texts in different languages or stand on the sideline, just where a cry could be heard.
O'More
Au loin résonnent les tambours. Ils arrivent, en procession, prenant possession de l'espace. Une communauté d'hommes aux origines lointaines : six danseurs (Kenya, Gabon, Maroc, Grèce, Côte d'Ivoire) et trois musiciens (Gnawa). Ils sont les Maures, chœur d'une seule partition chorégraphique. Six danseurs avec leur part de masculin et de féminin nous content leur version de la folie des hommes, autour d'une seule interprétation, une figure, le personnage d'Othello.
En s'appuyant sur la tragédie d'Othello, Bernardo Montet s'attache à faire entendre la voix étrangère (étranger par statut, étranger par choix ou par renonciation). Un travail qui revient sur l'identité au sens le plus archaïque : premier désir, première étreinte, rapport au sol, à la marche, à la voix. Ce faisant, il crée une langue qui nous parle de la séparation, du corps, de sa culture et de son rapport à la société ; de l'amour à la guerre. O.More agit à la façon d'une transe, un état transgressif et libérateur. Bernardo Montet est entré dans le théâtre du point de vue de la danse, entré dans le texte avec des hommes debout. Le dessin de ce geste est abstrait, épique et puissant.

Montet, Bernardo
Bernardo Montet is currently an associate artist with the SEcW project in Morlaix and artist-in-residence at the Théâtre Louis Aragon in Tremblay-en-France. He was director of the Centre Chorégraphique National de Tours from 2003 to the end of 2011.
After a period spent at Maurice Béjart’s Mudra school in Brussels, he pursued his career with the choreographer Catherine Diverrès, and was joint director with her of the Centre Chorégraphique National de Rennes until 1998. From 1997 onwards, Bernardo Montet gathered around himself a team of loyal collaborators: Tal Beit Halachmi, Taoufiq Izeddiou, Dimitri Tsiapkinis and Marc Veh, with whom he composed a repertoire of some twenty works. Since Pain de Singe, a founding solo devised together with the filmmaker Téo Hernandez (1987), he has signed such works as, in 1997 Issê Timossé (with the complicity of Pierre Guyotat, author and reciter), in 1998 Beau Travail (in collaboration with Claire Denis), in 2001 Racine’s Bérénice (co-written with Frédéric Fisbach), and O.More (with Gnawa musicians) in 2002.
In Tours, he created nine pieces: Parcours 2C (vobiscum) (with the plastic artist Gilles Touyard) in 2004, Coupédécalé with Eran Tzur for the musical composition (2005), Les batraciens s’en vont (2006) and Batracien, l’après-midi (2007), two works produced together with Lorella Abenavoli for the electroacoustic creation, Apertae (2008), Switch me off (co-written with Thomas Ferrand, 2009), God needs sacrifice (2010), Isao, a solo written for and in collaboration with the Malagasy choreographer Gaby Saranouffi, and Des Hommes, a group work in collaboration with the historian and critic Geneviève Vincent in December 2011.
In July 2011, he was made an Officier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
In 2012, Bernardo Montet accompanied Madeleine Louarn for the show Les Oiseaux (from Aristophanes’ Birds), while at the same time working on a duo entitled (Des)incarnat(s), with one of the actors of the Atelier Catalyse, on the notion of Vulnerable.
All his pieces, buoyed up by demand and radicality, deal with subjects dear to his heart: colonialism, memory, identity, consciousness of the body, resistance, to name but a few. Each choreography springs up from the previous one to weave an image that is both similar and different: the bodies, in their poetical and political dimension, replay the world surrounding us.
Bernardo Montet also develops unusual projects with children, such as ChOral (2013), Mom’arts (2011 and 2014), and in the urban space with Pas à Pas (2013), La Marche des Anges (2007), and Veiller par le geste (2008, 2010).

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois
If the 19th century is that of romanticism, the entry into the new century is synonymous of modernity! It was a few decades later that it would be assigned, a posteriori, the name of “neo-classical”.
