An immense, dark wave grows and climbs higher and higher, attacking the stage, halting right at the back of her slim silhouette which seems able to call forth the tempest and stop it at will. All in black, except for a bracelet of tiny diamonds, she emerges from the shadows like a flash of warmth streaking through the night. Shantala Shivalingappa is an expert in the traditional dance style of Kuchipudi that was created in the 15 th century in the State of Andhra-Pradesh, in the South of India. Each solo performance delivers up a fantasy vision, a free projection on the director onto the dancer. “Each performance, created alongside another artist, gives the collaboration genuine form,” explains Bory. In 2008 the flamenco dancer Stéphanie Fuster was the first in the series with the delicate and pure Questcequetudeviens?, then four years later it was the turn of the Japanese dancer Kaori Ito who struggled through a forest of five thousand threads in Plexus (2012). The director of Compagnie 111, who is more accustomed to massive scenography, momentarily lightens the workload, by dedicating the performance to just one person. Playing until 1 st March, at La Scala in Paris, this sumptuously acrid solo performance, supported by the live music of percussionist Loïc Schild, is the third and final chapter in the collection of works by Aurélien Bory that since 2008 has been dedicated to choreographer-dancers. The title aSH was chosen for Shantala, for Shiva and for actual ash. His body is covered in ash and he wears a necklace made of skulls. Shiva is the divinity of battlefields and of cremation who creates as much as he destroys. In Shivalingappa, as he explains in the show playbill, there is Shiva, god of dance and of death in Indian mythology. In creating aSH, a striking antiportrait of the dancer Shantala Shivalingappa, the director Aurélien Bory didn’t have to look very far to find his subject.

Two months after this colt lifted the Prix du Jockey-Club 2008, the Grandcamp registered its own record at Deauville's August sales with the 540,000 € sale of a son of Green Tune and Green Delight. The previous year the stud had prepared a son of Chichicastenango named Vision d'Etat. In 2007 the Grandcamp already presented 150 yearlings and foals at French sales. He continued to progress when becoming assistant to director Antoine Bozo at the Mézeray and finally became manager of the Haras d'Etreham before setting out on his own in 2004.Įric Lhermite continues to take part in eventing competitions but has found his vocation in sales preparation. Eric Lhermite then took charge of the Mezeray's yearlings in the Tellier yard close to Argentan. It covers 60 hectares on two sides of the hill, enabling Lhermite to choose the type of ground he wishes to use, depending upon the season.Įric Lhermite discovered horses through equestrianism at 16 but soon turned to racing and built up a solid experience in the breeding industry of Normandy.Īfter beginning at the Haras de Roiville, then with Hubert Honoré at the Haras d'Omméel, he went on to the Haras du Buff where Pierre-Charles Le Metayer was associated with Yann Houyvet and Florent Couturier. Grandcamp looks over the region from the top of a hill. The site had been a trotting stud before being sold to Mr Mrx Charpentier who raised Blackdoun, now a sire at the Haras de Bernesq. In July 2006, Eric Lhermite acquired his own stud in the Orne region, at the heart of a racehorse breeding area. The Haras de Grandcamp, managed by hands-on Eric Lhermite, takes its name from the first location of the stud, when Lhermite launched his solo career in 2004 from a rented site in the village of Grandcamp, close to the Haras d'Etreham where he had previously been manager.
