Marlon
“The subject of this show is desire. Sexual desire, but also desire in general, desire for life. A really powerful desire which alienates, frustrates. Marlon Brando is the embodiment of this. It is also a pretext for talking about sexuality, especially my own. The background, ultimately the context for this solo, is this dichotomy, this contradiction which I feel between feminism and patriarchy, both equally oppressive in their own way:
- Feminism by the enormity of the task, this obligation to be an independent woman.
- Patriarchy by domination and alienation; but by emotional blackmail too, as I am susceptible to its old-fashioned charm.
It is this rift which forms the setting for my text.
I feel the need to reclaim these contradictory attitudes which have marked and continue to mark my existence. Perhaps naïvely, responsively, absurdly at times. So? It is also this freedom that I want to recapture.

Lachaise, Aude
After a degree in German (Université Rennes II) and a spell at the Conservatoire de Rennes, Aude Lachaise took the Ex.erce course at the Centre Chorégraphique National de Montpellier in 2000.
She has worked as a dancer with a wide range of choreographers including Estzer Salamon, Robyn Orlin, Félix Rückert, Nathalie Pernette and Olga Mesa. Along with Virginie Thomas, Pauline Curnier-Jardin and Maeva Cunci, she is a member of the performance girls-band Les Vraoums.
In 2009, she created and performed a solo, Marlon, a monologue about desire, which won the KBC JONG THEATER PRIJS at the ‘Theater aan zee’ festival in Ostend in 2011. This solo has been performed around a hundred times in France and abroad. The text has been published by Lansman.
She has also acted in short films by photographer Noritoshi Hirakawa and Marjolaine Grandjean.
With Michaël Allibert, she created La fille au Sujet à Vif at the Avignon Festival in 2012.
In 2014, she created Naufrage, a short play in duet with Gilles Nicolas, and J'aime, a play for amateurs, at the Festival à Domicile in Guissény.
In 2015, En Souvenir de l'Indien premiered in Ostend at the Teater aan Zee festival. In 2016, the play toured the CDC network.
Her concerns revolve around questions of textual writing, which she attempts to stage using her choreographic tools.

Picq, Charles
Author, filmmaker and video artist Charles Picq (1952-2012) entered working life in the 70s through theatre and photography. A- fter resuming his studies (Maîtrise de Linguistique - Lyon ii, Maîtrise des sciences et Techniques de la Communication - grenoble iii), he then focused on video, first in the field of fine arts at the espace Lyonnais d'art Contemporain (ELAC) and with the group « Frigo », and then in dance.
On creation of the Maison de la Danse in Lyon in 1980, he was asked to undertake a video documentation project that he has continued ever since. During the ‘80s, a decade marked in France by the explosion of contemporary dance and the development of video, he met numerous artists such as andy Degroat, Dominique Bagouet, Carolyn Carlson, régine Chopinot, susanne Linke, Joëlle Bouvier and regis Obadia, Michel Kelemenis. He worked in the creative field with installations and on-stage video, as well as in television with recorded shows, entertainment and documentaries.
His work with Dominique Bagouet (80-90) was a unique encounter. He documents his creativity, assisting with Le Crawl de Lucien and co-directing with his films Tant Mieux, Tant Mieux and 10 anges. in the 90s he became director of video development for the Maison de la Danse and worked, with the support of guy Darmet and his team, in the growing space of theatre video through several initiatives:
- He founded a video library of dance films with free public access. This was a first for France. Continuing the video documentation of theatre performances, he organised their management and storage.
- He promoted the creation of a video-bar and projection room, both dedicated to welcoming school pupils.
- He started «présentations de saisons» in pictures.
- He oversaw the DVD publication of Le tour du monde en 80 danses, a pocket video library produced by the Maison de la Danse for the educational sector.
- He launched the series “scènes d'écran” for television and online. He undertook the video library's digital conversion and created Numeridanse.
His main documentaries are: enchaînement, Planète Bagouet, Montpellier le saut de l'ange, Carolyn Carlson, a woman of many faces, grand ecart, Mama africa, C'est pas facile, Lyon, le pas de deux d'une ville, Le Défilé, Un rêve de cirque.

Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
