This Is Unreal –<\/strong> Pierre Godard FR & Liz Santoro US<\/sup>On stage, Liz Santoro tells the story of her life through dance: her childhood in Boston, ballet, New York, Paris, motherhood, and the pieces she has created with Pierre Godard. But here, it\u2019s impossible to tell what\u2019s real from what\u2019s not: some memories are real, while others are generated by artificial intelligence. Some movements come from her body, others from an algorithm trained on her dance. This Is Unreal <\/em> creates a hybrid world where the authentic and the synthetic blend together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

de dIAboli <\/em><\/strong>– Christine Armanger – [Compagnie Louve] FR<\/sup> Du grec \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03b2\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2 (di\u00e0bolos), le \u00ab Diable \u00bb est celui qui d\u00e9sunit, qui fracture. Christine Armanger soul\u00e8ve ici la question des nouveaux visages du Diable, cet embl\u00e8me de la possession, de la m\u00e9tamorphose et de la manipulation. Convoquant une triade d\u2019interpr\u00e8tes aux traits de chim\u00e8res, de dIAboli <\/em>s\u2019habille d\u2019une esth\u00e9tique moyen\u00e2geuse tout en puisant son \u00e9criture dans nos cultures contemporaines. Sur les cendres d\u2019un foyer autour duquel une danse en trio a vir\u00e9 \u00e0 la transe, appara\u00eet un chien robotis\u00e9, pilot\u00e9 par intelligence artificielle et capable de reconnaissance faciale. Il est tel une \u00e9minente figure diabolique de demain. Un th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la connivence, du flirt et du pi\u00e8ge se resserre alors autour du d\u00e9mon num\u00e9rique, en un rituel troublant o\u00f9 la danse devient incantation, et le plateau un miroir qui met en regard la puissance de l\u2019illusion et notre propre capacit\u00e9 de r\u00e9sistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christine Armanger<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n\n \n \n

Christine Armanger is a French artist. A choreographer, performer, writer, and visual artist, she has worked with Laurent Bazin and Marie-No\u00eblle Genod, among others; she trained with Romeo Castellucci, Jan Fabre, Ambra Senatore, and Gis\u00e8le Vienne. She plays the mandolin and holds a Master\u2019s degree in Performing Arts\u2014Cultural History. A fan of wide-ranging forms and styles, she performed as a burlesque stripper (2010\u20132011) while also working as a performing arts j
\nr on Radio Campus Paris (2008\u20132015). After her early works, she founded [Compagnie Louve], with which she developed her choreographic and visual language through a resolutely hybrid and unique approach. She is particularly interested in ceremonial practices and the connections between the contemporary and the non-contemporary, drawing on art history to reinterpret it. Alongside her stage work, from 2010 to 2020 she developed a performative practice on social media under her avatar: Edmonde Gogotte. In 2017, she was a recipient of the Institut Fran\u00e7ais\u2019s \u201cHors les murs\u201d program; in 2024\u20132025, of the Paris R\u00e9seau Danse program; and in 2025\u20132026, of the Franco-Quebec program \u201cChoreographic Art and Digital Imaginaries .\u201d Blurring the lines between live performance and contemporary art, she presents her works and performances in France and abroad. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33160,"menu_order":0,"template":"","edition":[140],"type_oeuvre":[130],"class_list":["post-33158","oeuvre","type-oeuvre","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oeuvre\/33158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oeuvre"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/oeuvre"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"edition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/edition?post=33158"},{"taxonomy":"type_oeuvre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/type_oeuvre?post=33158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
