With BiT, Maguy Marin signs her forty-ninth opus in barely forty years. At the center of this brutal charge against ordinary barbarism lies the question of rhythm. The title refers to the computer term for the unit of measurement of information, this word-syllable gives an initial rhythmic drive, after which the show takes shape, relentless succession of scansions and impulses, twists and tensions orchestrated with the feverish rigor of a dance both joyful and desperate. As a constant in the piece, in an obsessive continuity, the same structure: the farandole, a form of collective dance passed down through the ages, is the recurring motif. All the colors of the human condition slide in, love rites and dances of death. On an exhilarating techno music all in beats, the entire show has no shortage of cruelty on the analysis of contemporary society, in the dark conclusion of the dominations exerted on the intimate as well as the social, a deterioration of which we ourselves are the actors. BiT takes us into the depths of our humanity and questions our individual responsibilities in the turmoil of each passing day.

Fractus V
directed by Denis Caïozzi; choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, 1976-; designed by Sumire Hayakawa, fl. 2016; produced by Farid Rezkallah, 24 Images and Arte France; performed by Eastman (London, England: Marquee Arts, 2017), 1 hour 18 mins
In Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's Fractus V, the message is philosophical and political, inspired by Noam Chomsky's ideas on language and political control.

In Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's Fractus V, the message is philosophical and political, inspired by Noam Chomsky's ideas on language and political control. When you can't control people by force, you can control them by manipulating minds through language. For Cherkaoui, the principle of collective resistance is the choreography's driving force. He expresses it through images of marvellous ingenuity, slotting his all-male dancers together into multi-limbed patterns and constellations, but also through a constant swapping between forms and cultures.
There's also a dark underbelly of violence to this community, as the men descend into precision-choreographed gun battles and fights. But as with the best of Charkaoui's work, Fractus V is a thrillingly expansive watch, large with possibilities and potent with ideas.

Wonderland investigates pack mentality as an inherent and potentially dangerous element of human instinct. Four archetypal characters evolve in a universe influenced by the imagery of the American atomic age. Behind the smiles of an Esther Williams dream world, Wonderland reveals psychological and physical episodes of a herd acting as a unit through the uncoordinated behavior of self-serving individuals. Although pack mentality is a natural and ongoing strategy in the animal kingdom, among humans it can indicate a vicious, desensitized brutality and disregard for humanity - a concept that is at the core of Wonderland.The stylized, disturbing world of Wonderland was initially inspired by Chinese-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang's installation Head On, which depicts 99 wolves charging into a glass wall. Choreographer Andrea Miller draws on overly familiar characters and situations to re-enact tensions between the individual and the collective. In this piece, Miller conjures a dark, surreal circus arena where the herd instinct can play out.
