Alphabet
26 short choreographic propositions by Fabrice Lambert
This alphabet was created at the Scène nationale Le Manège. It gave me the opportunity to adapt and develop my work as an author in various forms; to organize its content and name the many personal means I had conceived.
A set of 26 short propositions raise the question of the relation of the body to its environment, of the status of this relation on stage, when performed by organizing different modes of perception.
The length of these propositions enables the sharing of these thoughts with the audience. These meetings can be organized around a cup of coffee, after each letter …
When presented in full, it enables the audience to come to the theater twice a day, and experience the impact of the performance on everyday life. This alphabet makes it possible to establish a sustained relationship with the audience, to feel its fears and dislikes but also its joys and discoveries. It’s a way for me to put into place a regular and enriching relationship with the audience.

26 choreographic propositions, 15 minutes long, presented as an alphabet, easy to apprehend and to follow.
26 settings (central, peripheral, frontal, shared …) conceived as an encounter with the choreographer’s status, and that of the audience. Body, movement, sound and light are combined to create a meaningful performance.
26 propositions - as the 26 letters of the alphabet invite the audience to reflect on the aesthetic and ideological dimensions of reflection on a term.
Where it is talked about A as in abstraction, B as in Boltanski or Body, D as in desire
26 propositions to arrange in different ways : as a whole or by extracts through the choice of certain letters
26 propositions arranged a over time : in extracts or in full, conceived as regular meetings with the audience.
26 propositions arranged in different places (courtyards, gardens, boxes, stages, studios, terraces…) conceived as an invitation to the audience to invest the place, to inhabit it, to take possession of it, differently.
26 propositions to articulate ones desire, choices, actuality, preoccupations … conceived as a way to invite the audience to decode a work, to share it and to discover other ways of perceiving time and space, in a room dedicated to creation. Reaching a cherished theme: that of the meeting.
