Eszter Salamon perfectly masters one particular art: that of the surprise. Those who saw her show  And Then, presented at the Lille Opera in 2009, won’t say the contrary. At the cross point of the visual arts and music, the Hungarian choreographer returns to take us on an exploration of what the world might be without bodies.  How can one extract oneself from one’s own body ? For how long can we remain outside of ourselves … before we lose ourselves definitively? The answers can be found in the Vivat d’Armentieres.

Performances at Théâtre de l’Oiseau-Mouche / Le Garage 28 avenue des Nations Unies in Roubaix.

[...] These exchanges on questions of being in the world, of beauty and death, constitute the foundations of the show that Christian Rizzo has dreamed up with players from l’Oiseau-Mouche, a company based in Roubaix for the mentally challenged. Each of their creations is the fruit of an encounter with a guest artist. Christian Rizzo answered the call with his characteristic enthusiasm for new adventures. ‘‘When I launched the idea, it struck a right resonance, sometimes troubling, maybe more so than with the people with whom I usually work,” he admitted at the start of rehearsals. Initiated during his residence at the Lille Opera from 2007 to 2012, this collaboration offers a new dimension to Christian Rizzo’s presence in the Nord-Pas de Calais, the region he has now adopted as his base in the pursuit of his artistic activities.
