The story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maldonne (Misdeal) premiered on 16 November 2023 at La Garance, the national stage of Cavaillon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Le\u00efla Ka's first group piece. CENTQUATRE-PARIS produces it together with the choreographer's company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around a dozen French co-producers support it, including the Suresnes Cit\u00e9s Danse 2024 festival and the CCN Ballet de Lorraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its first touring season covered around thirty venues, from November 2023 to November 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le\u00efla Ka began dancing in Saint-Nazaire. She performed in May B, a piece by Maguy Marin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her first solo, Pode Ser, dates from 2018. It has won six international awards and been performed more than 200 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duo C'est toi qu'on adore (It's You We Adore) followed in 2020, then the solo Se faire la belle (Breaking Free) in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se faire la belle (Breaking Free) completes the trilogy. It received the R\u00e9v\u00e9lation chor\u00e9graphique award from the French critics' association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, her short piece Bouff\u00e9es (Gusts) also won first prize at the Danse \u00c9largie competition of the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Ville in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is an associate or partner artist at several French venues, including Dieppe sc\u00e8ne nationale, La Garance and MC2 in Grenoble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BNP Paribas Foundation has supported her company since 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who organises it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Passage in Neuch\u00e2tel programmes the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production is by CENTQUATRE-PARIS and Cie Le\u00efla Ka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to find<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On stage, five dancers inhabit around forty evening, wedding and ball gowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dresses fly, spin and collapse, to songs by Leonard Cohen and electronic bass lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece explores femininity, fragility, anger and multiple identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le\u00efla Ka created the choreography and costumes. Eight performers dance in rotation, including Justine Agator, Mariana Faria and Myrto Georgiadi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurent Fallot designed the lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show is adapted for people with hearing impairments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the same day, company dancer A\u00efda Ben Hassine leads two workshops in Neuch\u00e2tel. The first, at 11 am, is for professionals, the second, at 2 pm, is open to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
