EXHIBITION "GENERATION 80, A NEW HORIZON FOR DANCE."

Presentation

17 photographs of contemporary dance performances created in the 80s, presented as part of the residency of creation in the territory of the Company Pedro Pauwels in Carcassonne. They illustrate a remarkable period in the recent history of contemporary dance and what has been called "La Jeune Danse Française".

We date the birth of French contemporary dance from the early 1980s. Exception French, contemporary dance arises at the same time as artists like Dominique Bagouet, Jean Claude Gallotta, Régine Chopinot, Daniel Larrieu, Angelin Preljocaj... Explosion of movements, sensations, desires, colors, music... These choreographic authors impose on the stage universes, obsessions, themes and a singular writing that distinguish them
