Graham 100 - Program B: love, war and the American people at the Théâtre du Châtelet

This second program highlights two emblematic works from Martha Graham 's repertoire: Diversion of Angels and Chronicle. The former evokes the many faces of love through luminous, fluid choreography, while the latter, created in 1936, reflects on war, its violence and repercussions, in a powerful, committed aesthetic.

Resonating with these two historic pieces, We the People by American choreographer Jamar Roberts takes a contemporary look at American society. Through this creation, he questions the people, their folklore and tensions, injecting a social and political dimension, while drawing on the company's expressive heritage.

This program is aimed at a public with an interest in modern dance, eager to discover the dialogue between masterpieces of the repertoire and current creations. The complementary nature of Graham 's and Roberts' universes allows us to question the permanence of human emotions - love, anger, solidarity - in their choreographic transposition. Audiences unfamiliar with abstract dance or its symbolic codes may, however, prefer more narrative forms.
