Rebel bodies

**Both installation and a work of art in itself, the exhibition Corps rebelles is an invitation to understand modern dance as a universal language.** For novices as for lovers of modern dance, this is about entering in an unprecedented way into the world of dance and seeing or seeing again extracts from iconic choreographic works which were able to leave a mark on the history of dance in the 20th century. In Lyon, *Corps rebelles* proposes, by means of a new museographical device, to observe the links between events in 20th century history and developments or breaks in the story of modern dance. This meeting of ideas unfolds around six themes sketching the principal developments of the body in modern dance in our societies: virtuoso dance, organic dance, erudite and popular dance, political dance, exotic and colonial dance, dance in Lyon. This co-production with the Musée de la civilisation de Québec is a creation which evolves through the thread of its international tour with the inclusion of new films directed for the Lyon version and the presence in situ of choreographers in residence, chosen in close conjunction with la Maison de la Danse and the Dance Biennial.
