« DANSE D… " (2009) " DANCE D " (2009) The contribution of a virtual body on stage, thanks to the digital technology, is what interests essentially Catherine Langlade. The sets, so, are multiple, funny and sometimes disturbing. Paradoxically, " Danse D ", stress the impression of solitude by juxtaposing the real dancer ( Elodie Francheteau) and its image. This one acts as a mirror endowed with autonomy, authorizing the interactive introspection of a woman in search of herself, echo of the héroïne of "Moderato cantabile", Marguerite Duras's novel. Without more male character, " Danse D " is situated in the nodal point where, after the meeting and the exhaustion of the desire, a woman has to step over only the abyss of her existence.

THE YELLOW DOOR OR(WHERE) THE REVEALING BODY (1992)

" The yellow door or the revealing body " is a strong, surprising work by the finds with which it is enamelled, by its construction suite of piécettes bound between them by the game of a kind of magician-illusionniste-acrobate-danseur, and especially by its alliance with the fixed or mobile images of Ghislaine Gohard. We find finally the spirit of Lolita, ally of that of NikolaÏs

CYBERNIES (1995)

With "Cybernies", Catherine Langlade signs an unusual and simple, strange and familiar show revealing a new maturity of the choreographer. The search which she leads for several years expresses himself here with obvious fact in a delicate universe with one thousand nuances sophisticated without complication, bursting of a soft vitality. Strange, unusual, sometimes aggressive Nov Art Oeuvre, "Cybernies" is in the lineage of " The yellow door or the revealing body ", too based on the kinetic and interactive relationship of the body and the image. The choreography is closely involved with the work of the image, with the music of Eric Kramer and with the lights of Eric Wurtz: she is so splendidly served by two collusive interpreters who, each in an opposite role, allow the putting in balance of its effects on the spectator.

INSTALLATION " COME TO DANCE " (2004-2008 )

With Come to Dance, the game and the visual answer pull irresistibly towards the movement. If it is disrupted, at first, and exploratory - it is necessary to tame the feedback – it quickly aims, not towards a personal choreography (in the sense of a writing of the movement), as we could expect it, but towards the exploitation of gestures independent from the head, the arms and the feet, which activate a particular graphics. And it is exactly to this expérience that the choreographer wants to invite us. Claire Leroux.

USTRANOTTE (1990 )

The choreography plays an alchemy of bodies. No break, but an undulation in the reserved accélérations.
The performance of the dancers is not given to it to see, it becomes integrated subtly into the simple gestures into the created poetry.
Nov Art Entre the infinitesimal and the infinitely big, mixing(involving) poetry, brilliance and humor, they deceive as one pleases all our sensesto pull us in a phantasmagorical travel, intersidereal spaces inside our cells.
