One to one

One to One est un solo interprété par Juichi Kobayashi,  un caractère et une figure de héros qui est engagé dans une  confrontation, dans un espace défini par une table ; son propre  territoire.
Un héros car après une carrière de soliste au Béjart Ballet  Lausanne, il décide de me passer la commande d’un solo à l’âge de 52  ans, spécialement conçu pour le Festival de Danse de Yokohama au Japon  DANCE DANCE DANCE AT YOKOHAMA.
Le plateau, quant à lui, est un lieu de passage qui prend  différentes valeurs d’échanges ; lieu de communication mais aussi espace  privilégié où l’on peut se ressourcer, reprendre des forces.
Les deux « Pavanes » de Gabriel Fauré, chefs d’œuvres à la fois  puissants et poétiques, permettent à Juichi de s’élever  spirituellement, sublimant ainsi sa présence. Dans ce solo je souhaite  révéler son propre caractère et les forces qui l’animent : puissant  & sensuel dans une gestuelle tout en spirale.
La chorégraphie dilate le temps de la danse, elle construit  ainsi le temps tel un cycle qui lui est propre, cela renforce la  sensation de vivre chaque instant de la vie intensément !

Lagraa, Abou

Abou Lagraa began dancing in Annonay, before entering the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon. He began his career as a dancer-performer at the S.O.A.P. Dance Theater Frankfurt, working with Rui Horta, before becoming his assistant at the Gulbenkian Ballet in Lisbon.

In 1997, he founded the Compagnie La Baraka, with whom he was successively associate artist at Bonlieu, Scène Nationale d'Annecy (2004-2008) then at Les Gémeaux, Scène Nationale de Sceaux (2009-2013) and finally at the Maison de la Danse in Lyon (2015). The company's reputation quickly spread beyond France's borders, and it began touring all over Europe, as well as the United States, Algeria, Tunisia, Russia and Asia...


In 2010, with Nawal Aït Benalla, he created the first Ballet Contemporain d'Alger with ‘Nya’, a piece whose success led to several national and international tours. This return to his roots inspired his 2013 creation ‘El Djoudour’ (The Roots), the fruit of a fruitful partnership between his own French company and the Ballet Contemporain d'Alger. This creation opened the ‘Marseille-Provence 2013, European Capital of Culture’ event.

In February 2018, La Baraka moved to La Chapelle Sainte-Marie in Annonay. Abou Lagraa and Nawal Aït Benalla decided to co-direct La Baraka and La Chapelle together. This desacralised setting, a jewel of Baroque art, has been transformed into a choreographic studio and houses the company's administrative offices. La Chapelle became a creative residency for French and international dance companies. Like a small ‘Villa Medici’ for dance in the Ardèche.

Cie La Baraka / La Chapelle - Abou & Nawal Lagraa

La Baraka is a contemporary dance company (association law 1901). With a repertoire, pieces shot through with pure energy and a hybrid style that borrows from everything that has made up the path of the two choreographers: the other shore of the Mediterranean, contemporary dance, jazz, hip-hop and even yoga postures.
