A few rare accessories, a dance studio bar, a small chair, a luminous globe that descends from the hangers, a white carpet that is unrolled ... And on stage, a woman.
A dancing woman.
One star: Marie-Claude Pietragalla.
For 40 years, she has shared her sensitivity with the spectators through romantic characters, 40 years that she creates combinations of movements, 40 years that she devotes her life to the "Theater of the Body", and which inspired the name to her. of the company she created with the dancer and choreographer Julien Derouault, a few years after leaving the Paris Opera where she was a principal dancer.
Together, they have created many shows, including today's one.
A total show, which mixes body and words, voice and movement, sound and lights.
A creation that shares with the public its relationship to its art.
