Jour et nuit
Catherine Diverrès
Catherine Diverrès has marked the dance landscape with her works over the past thirty years. Anyone who saw him dance on stage was touched by his unparalleled strength and grace. Decisive was her meeting with Kazuo Ohno, with whom she studied in Japan, an open path which, upon her return to France, allowed her to develop a particular language that she passed on to several generations of dancers. After fifteen years at the head of the Center choreographique national de Rennes et de Bretagne, a new page opened before her with the company she created, the October association, and its installation in the city of Vannes. in Studio 8 since 2012.End of July 2018, new beginning. The company leaves Studio 8 but remains based in Morbihan, in Vannes for the time being. She continues to dig her furrow on a territory that she does not wish to abandon on such a good path. The first series of rehearsals for Jour et Nuit, a 2019 creation, closes the “parenthesis”.
____________________________________________________________________________
Piece after piece, Catherine Diverrès has relentlessly crafted a unique brand in the dance world. Her style is a complex mosaic that explores the brighter and darker sides of our human condition. She uses dance and poetry as a weapon to entice us to meet and look at our ever-changing world. Those who have seen her on stage will remember it forever. Diverrès is claiming Jour et Nuit will be her last piece. We say it is a jewel that encapsulates forty years of work with an absolute freedom of style that spans genres as diverse as baroque, expressionism, lyrical abstraction and romanticism.
Jour et Nuit is not about anything specific. It is about day and night. Two words for the dancers to create and dive into their fantasies. On stage, they craft these moments of pure intimacy, the dawn and dusk we all hide inside of us.
The set is breath-taking, the lighting design is striking. It looks like a party thrown by our imagination. The piece is a fast-paced sequence of images that were created in the darkest hours of the night, just before the sun rises.
