Frenchman Boris Charmatz, 50, steward for nine months of the Tanztheater Pina Bausch in Wuppertal, western Germany. He is considered one of the leaders of "non-dance", professing to invest all types of public spaces and to decompartmentalize the boundaries between the arts.
The street of performance was not chosen at random: it appears in the road movie "Alice in the cities", filmed in 1974 by the German director Wim Wenders.
