For the American dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey (1931–1989) dance is an international art which discloses itself to all people because it doesn't require any spoken language. Everywhere that the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre appeared, the audiences greeted the harmonic beauty, the dynamic movements and the dance-like expression of the soloists with great enthusiasm. Ailey choreographed 79 ballets and developed his own style using modern dance, jazz and classical ballet. His pieces relate amusing and earnest stories of the black inhabitants of North America. His choreographs are an expression of their deep faith as well as their grace, their sorrow and their joy of living. And of course they have a special energy and sensuality because Ailey mainly choreographed his pieces to “black” music by using elements of blues, spirituals, jazz and soul.

Dave St-Pierre explores the vicissitudes of the human soul in Foudres, the third and final installment of socio-sentimental trilogy, Sociologies and other contemporary utopias. After La pornographie des ames (2004) and Un peu de tendresse bordel de merde! (2006), Foudres (2012) concludes a reflection on life, death and love. In short, the human being, studied from all angles. On stage, naked cupidons, their sex swinging, try to throw into each other's arms two poor souls stunned by the violence of a thunderbolt. Passion is here synonymous with contrary forces leaving room for a collective therapy: the emotions overflow in an indescribable joy. It's braying, it's hectic and it's exciting. Without taking himself seriously, Dave St-Pierre dissects the most visceral feelings: love. He says, "It will never be enough for me: never vulgar enough, chaotic, violent, virulent, animal, human, lost ". Adult

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.
