This choreography "Manifesto for Inhabiting Utopia" created by Annick Charlot for the Lyon Dance Biennial in 2010, is having a good travel. This proposal, for nomadic cities, will have its next stop on days, 1 to 3 June 2012 on the Henri Frenay square next to the Gare de Lyon in Paris.

The proposal is imbued in the current dynamics in which through the active participation of citizens on public space of cities, this space is again of them. The company will invite to 80 Parisians to participate and be complicit in the action. Sincerely, Hat tip!!

In the 70's, the capital of France suffered some transformations such as the Place Henri Frenay, next to the Gare de Lyon, with a new look: the new buildings replace an unhealthy area. This radical rehabilitation concludes today with the realization of a great glass station on one side, opposite the buildings of the Real Estate Board of the City of Paris. This is the venue chosen which will perform the choreography of Annick Charlot.

The team of "Compagnie Acte" will be in the place of performance of March 30 to May 31, the eve of the three free and public performances scheduled for 1, 2 and 3 June in the Festival program "Entrez dans la danse 2012. "

During last year the company from Lyon has increased the scale in Paris to know better the life of the place and, as seen in the video, engage people, people of the district, architects, walkers, the public and private structures. This is not only a performance from a program, this choreography is the search for much more: he wants to be a special event. It is creating a geography sensitive, supportive, EXTRA-ordinary with the participation of users of the same urban space combined with a collective artistic experience.
