A dance that asks questions, attempts fragments of answers from within the body, weaving links: between the foot, the country, the father, the skin; between series of gestures, phrases - learned from Trisha Brown, Odile Duboc, shared with Akira Kasai or Boris Charmatz.
From the succession of images, genealogies and enigmas wrapped around this name (that of her father, Huynh Thanh Vân, Nuage bleu), a link between two worlds - Vietnam and France - Emmanuelle Huynh has led a process of investigation, made up of points, following a path as invisible and sinuous as that of acupuncture meridians - in search of the lines of force that structure her dancing body.
Nuée thus draws a map where energies, forms, reminiscences, raw or languid desires circulate; where phrases are articulated - in the mouth, the limbs, the skin. Like Vietnamese names, written illegibly to deceive evil spirits, Emmanuelle Huynh's body compresses states and symbols, like physical ideograms kneaded by memory.

Emmanuelle Huynh
Dancer, choreographer, teacher
Emmanuelle Huynh is a dancer, choreographer and teacher who studied dance and philosophy. Her work explores relationships with music, literature, light, ikebana (Japanese floral art) and architecture. Her work includes Múa (1995), A Vida Enorme (2002), Cribles(2009), Shinbaï, le Vol de l'âme (2009) and TÔZAI !... (2014).
From 2004 to 2012, she directed the Centre national de danse contemporaine in Angers, where she redesigned the school, notably creating the "Essais" training program, which offered a Master's degree in dance, creation and performance.
In 2016, with Jocelyn Cottencin, they created A cab driver, an architect and the High Line, a portrait of New York City through its architecture, spaces and inhabitants, made up of film portraits and a performance. Continuing their collaboration, they will create sensitive, filmed and danced portraits of the city of Saint-Nazaire, Nous venons de trop loin pour oublier qui nous sommes, (created at the end of 2019). Portraits of São Paulo in Brazil, Cruzamento, and Houston in the United States are being created for 2022/2023.
In November 2017, she created a piece for 4 Formation dancers, based on Pierre Guyotat's autobiographical work, in a visual device designed by Nicolas Floc'h.
She is an associate artist for three seasons from 2018 to 2021 at Théâtre de Nîmes, scène conventionnée d'intérêt national - art et création - danse contemporaine, where on March 18 and 19, 2021 she will create the solo Nuée, which explores the question of the journey, both artistic and personal.
Emmanuelle Huynh's work with Plateforme Múa is rooted in a broader vision of dance, producing knowledge and emotions that modify society's view of itself.
From 2014 to 2016, Emmanuelle Huynh was an associate lecturer at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Nantes. From 2016 to 2021, she worked at ENSA Nantes-Mauritius.
Since September 2016, Emmanuelle Huynh has been Head of the Dance, Choreography and Performance Workshop at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.
In 2022, she is preparing a staging of Xenakis' Kraanerg with Caty Olive, lighting designer, and four dancers, commissioned by the Wiener Festwochen in Vienna.

Composer
Pierre-Yves Macé's music is situated at the crossroads between contemporary writing, electroacoustic creation, sound art and a certain rock sensibility. An important part of his work is based on the notions of recycling, appropriation or citation. Begun in 2010, the in-progress cycle Song Recycle for piano and loudspeaker takes and transforms a selection of amateur vocal performances collected on YouTube. His music is published on the Tzadik, Sub Rosa, Brocoli labels. It has been performed by the ensembles Cairn, l'Instant Donné, the Orchestre de chambre de Paris, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, les Cris de Paris, the collective 0 ("zero"). He collaborates with artists Hippolyte Hentgen, writers Mathieu Larnaudie, Philippe Vasset, Pierre Senges, Julien d'Abrigeon, composes music for the shows of Sylvain Creuzevault, Christophe Fiat, Joris Lacoste, Anne Collod, Fabrice Ramalingom. In 2014, he was awarded the Hors les murs residency (Institut Français) for the project Contreflux. Defended in 2009 at the University of Paris 8, his doctorate in musicology was published by Presses du réel in 2012 under the title Musique et document sonore.
