MEDIATHEK

After receiving his training at the CNDC Angers, Fabrice Lambert founded l’Expérience Harmaat with Yuha-Pekka Marsalo in 1996. He went on to perform within the collective Kubilaï Khan Investigations, and alongside Carolyn Carlson, Catherine Diverrès, François Verret, Emmanuelle Huynh and Rachid Ouramdane. Since 2000, Fabrice Lambert has directed l’Expérience Harmaat alone. The company defines itself as a meeting place for artists of varying disciplines (visual artists, videographers, engineers…) to come together around choreographic projects. Each new work utilizes a performance principle derived from one of these encounters: - No body, never mind and TOPO (2001) is a two-part inquiry dedicated to the perception of the body and its distortion by images. It invites the spectator to redefine his or her modalities for seeing the body and its environment. - Le rêve (2002) captures the essence of this inquiry by creating a conversation between a film and a solo that both use the same medium: the performer’s body. - Play Mobile (2003) explores the limits of this same body in an all-encompassing sound environment, an enclosed space that confronts it with its limits. - Im-posture (2004) is a piece for two performers and a videographer that revisits an idea of Paul Virilio on the integral accident. These were followed by Fredéric Lambert (2004 – commission SACD / Le Sujet à Vif), Abécedaire (2005), meutes (2006), Gravité (2007), D'Eux (2008), Virga (2009 – commission SACD / Le Vif du Sujet), Solaire (2010), Rites of Memory (2011 - commission de Ahn Aesoon Dance/Corée) and, recently, Faux Mouvement (2012). These pieces have been performed in France and abroad, notably at: Théâtre de la Ville - Paris, Les Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis, l’Hippodrome de Douai, le CDC Toulouse, le Festival de Marseille, le Centre National de la Danse, la Biennale de la danse de Lyon, Le lieu Unique in Nantes, Le Manège de Reims, la Bienal Internacional de Dança do Ceará – Brazil, Tanz in Bern – Switzerland, l'ADC – Geneva, La Fundicion – Bilbao, le Festival Fabbrica Europa – Florence, The Venice Biennial, L'Agora de la danse – Montreal, Tanzquartier – Vienna,... Artistic outreach and continuing education projects are developed in parallel, either within the framework of company residencies, or as supplements to the performance of the pieces, and may be oriented toward general audiences, educational and professional institutions (CND…), or future professionals (Ecole Boulle, Université Paris 8, CNDC Angers ...). L’Expérience Harmaat benefitted from a three-year residency at the Manège, scène nationale de la Roche sur Yon, between 2003 and 2007, at the Théâtre Le Vanves during the 2009/2010 season, and the Ferme de Bel Ebat in Guyancourt during the 2011/2012 season.
