Two dancers in the age of 78 and 23.
A story of the bodies, in terms of their conflict and complementarity


What separates Jean, 78 years old, and Hugues, barely 23 years old, is their bodies, their experiences, their generations. Fabrice Ramalingom, halfway between them, questions their confrontation, draws their relationship, between competition and complementarity.

Synopsis

Générations – battle of portraits was born following another piece by Fabrice Ramalingom, in which two men, a young man and an old man, confronted themselves. His desire is to push the question of intergenerational relations further. Often it is a struggle of opposing characters: knowledge, experience, and majesty for one; ardour, innocence, and explosion for the other. This confrontation is more peaceful here; the two dancers offer the best of themselves while trying to move the other. Between these two bodies, there is a third, invisible body: that of the choreographer. He is the link between the two and must find his place without being present. With Générations, Fabrice Ramalingom questions the passage of time: How to live with what one is, is no longer, and is not yet?

R.A.M.a

Surrounding himself within RAMa with collaborators from different countries and backgrounds, Fabrice Ramalingom signs pieces that are so many pretexts/spaces where he likes to summon paradoxes such as man and animal, community and individuality, presence and absence.

  • “After the color of the skins, after the shape of the bodies, after the way of naming identities, a taboo remains, that of showing old people alive. At 78, he is not in EPHAD, not dependent. He keeps up. And he is not alone in this case. The retirement age of a classical dancer is 42 years old. In contemporary, this nuance does not exist.”
