Purpose of residency: research residency.
en mon for intérieur will be programmed on May 10, 2024, as part of the Propagations festival.
en mon for intérieur is a cycle of solo performances dedicated to secrecy as the foundation of identity, as a signature.
During a 30-minute performance, which can be held either indoors or outdoors, the dancer and choreographer manipulates the magnetic tape of a REVOX B77 on which her voice is recorded live. She will never reveal her secret: the performance explores the traces, flaws, breaks and shifts that form in a woman who seeks to preserve her intimacy like a treasure in the face of transparency.
A video will be produced for each portrait by Italian artist Furio Ganz. It will not be a recording of the performance, but an artistic object in its own right, opening the performance.

Alvise Sinivia
Artistic Director
A pianist, improviser and performer, Alvise Sinivia's career has been marked by numerous encounters with artists from all horizons. An inquisitive musician constantly on the lookout, he is constantly renewing his relationship with his instrument, whose paradoxes and sonic and physical limits he has been experimenting with for several years.
Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris with Alain Planès and Emmanuel Strosser. It was here that he made numerous encounters that nourish his music. Committed to creation, he regularly collaborates with composers and has been a member of ONCEIM since its inception. In 2019, he will premiere Georgia Spiropoulos' solo Eror (the pianist) in Athens, produced by the Onassis Foundation and Ircam, in which improvisation, performance and interpretation merge. Alvise regularly works in the theatrical field as a composer, actor and stage musician, as in Clara Chabalier's play La Défense devant les Survivants, premiered in June 2022 at the Comédie de Reims. In 2023, he will be on stage with Laurent Poitrenaux and Valérie Dashwood in a play by Ludovic Lagarde inspired by the book Médecine Générale by Olivier Cadiot.
A resident at Villa Médicis during the 2016/2017 season in the performance discipline, he is deepening his research into the relationship between movement and sound. He then set up his own company, with which he created the solo Ersilia, for a performer and five piano frames. The entire body becomes a bow, playing the device-instrument invented for the piece. In the 2020-2021 season, Alvise will create Hurle, a multidisciplinary science-fiction piece questioning the notion of sound archives. Finally, in May 2022, he creates MICROGRAPHIA, a four-hand piano piece with Frédéric Blondy inspired by an experimental cartography book, Terra Forma. The company is currently developing a series of choreographic solos on the theme of secrecy, with a sound device based on the hijacking of a tape player.
Mellina Boubetra
performer, choreographer
Mellina began dancing at an MJC in her native Colombes. She discovered Hip-Hop at an early age and met her teacher Mohamed El Hajoui, who decided to form a duo Second souffle de Jazz Rock et de Locking. In 2006, they began their career in choreographic shows.
After several years studying biology, she decided at the end of 2015 to devote herself to dance. She entered through the door of all-style battles and gradually moved towards creation. She joined the companies Des pieds au mur, Andrew Skeels, Dyptik and Cornucopiae.
At the same time, she set up the company ETRA, which has three active pieces, INTRO, RĒHGMA and NYST.
