Description
The Compagnie MehDia, a well-known name in the Loire town, is back with its new creation "Art'Gentik".
Art'GentiK focuses on two creative and artistic dimensions inherent to Chalon-sur-Saône, Mehdi Diouri's home town: photography and dance. Here he examines the object, the camera, but also the art of photography. In the age of digital technology, which has made photography a commonplace, everyday activity, everyone has become both photographer and photographed. These roles are reversed, alternated and merged, in the same way that spontaneity, naturalness and staging follow one another. This creation hums to us of an encounter, that of its performers. It questions the ability to transform and be transformed by contact with images. "MehDia was founded in 2012 by Mehdi Diouri, the company's choreographer and artistic director. It is based in Chalon-sur-Saône, the choreographer's home town. Through choreographic creation and cultural awareness-raising, the company aims to be a vehicle for sharing and promoting live performance, and hip hop dance, to all audiences and all territories."
