"It's as if I'd built myself around an ideal of lying, which could go as far as murdering love. As if the murder weapon were dance. For not only are there words, there is also suffering. There is suffering."
Régine Chopinot

Since the late 70s, Régine Chopinot has played a decisive role in the development of contemporary dance in France. Her thirty-year career, marked by some fifty performances, has in no way diminished the creativity of this eternal pioneer, who continues to push back the horizons of her choreographic research. After completing the Triptyque de la fin des temps with O.C.C.C. in 2006, she now embarks on a new adventure with Cornucopiae, a piece for nine performers (including Chopinot herself), conceived with her faithful collaborator Jean Michel Bruyère and inspired by the powerful breath of Henri Chopin, the sound poet who died on January 3, 2008. Without concession, Cornucopiae offers spectators a radical experience, in which dance appears as one of the possible forms of resistance." Is it war or refuge? Carnage, its echo or its escape? Is it a wood or a room? Is it a squadron or its victims? Is it now or the future or the Middle Ages? Is it the inside of my head whose outside is hidden? Something abounds - cornucopiae, but what and from where?"
