ROSE DEZIR,
A CERTAIN
IDEA OF HAPPINESS
Ball, bubbles, sweets, carousel... A party is approaching. Heartbeats, puppets, love songs... It throbs, it flies, it's a whirlwind of joy. The 8th arrondissement offers a parade of parties and leads to the discovery of several faces of happiness. Rose "Dézir" is the meeting between contemporary dance and hip-hop, to mix genres, stimulate energies. A project that bets on openness, hope. A project to restore color!

The Parade of the 8th questions us. Tomorrow, it is from yesterday, a planet, our planet, that overflows. There are his gardeners of the recovery and their wheelbarrows. Tomorrow is today, men who leave and arrive; the "valiztransits" transport their memories and take us on their wanderings. Today, it is music, mixed, colorful, led by working musicians. Today, it is those who arrive, that we welcome, that we carry: place for man-sized puppets. Let's finally open the "valizutopies" for the after! So, tomorrow? What if we stopped throwing away objects and men? What if we reinvented new stories with them?
Artistic project explained by Annick Charlot :
"The peculiarity of our project is that it is composed of two artistic teams. Two teams installed in the same territory: Natacha who completed a residence as part of "Tout le monde dehors" in the 8th arrondissement, and myself whose studio and company are installed here. Natacha wanted a continuation of her project with the inhabitants and me, I wanted to embark on a new Parade.
Initially we started from a slightly crazy idea that had been running through my head for a while, that of parading with refugees and undocumented people, but obviously, reality caught up with us. We remained on this idea of a society, ours, which throws away or excludes what it no longer needs. We wanted to create around recovery, recycling, the fact of stopping throwing away objects and men. Make the great artistic gap between objects and men. As we work with Némo for scenography, who has been thinking about this problem for a long time and the costume designer, Nadine, diverts clothes from their first use, the theme was all found. Besides, we made the sets and costumes with recovery. For example, our tank, which represents the Earth, is entirely made up (on a metal structure made by the students of Lycée La Mache) of 6,000 crushed used cans, red for the continents and blue for the oceans.
The choreography also, in the second table, that of the gardeners of recovery, takes up this idea of throwing and tidying up, recovering and throwing away. The first two paintings concern objects then we move on to men with in the third painting, large puppets worn by dancers. In all, there are seven major tables, including that of high school students who have planted the question "What is tomorrow?", with an answer, in a "valizutopia".
