STRANGE AGE
(2024)

STRANGE AGE is a window into today's youth: 13 young dancers from the COLINE training program, led for 28 years by Bernadette Tripier. The documentary reveals behind-the-scenes of the creation, on pieces by Dominique Bagouet, Joanne Leighton, Thomas Lebrun, Alban Richard, etc. We follow the students in this creation process - in dance studios, theater dressing rooms, bistros, a vacant lot, a minibus - testifying to their daily lives filled with desires, doubts, frustrations, and joys that undoubtedly contribute to their professional and, above all, personal development.

 

These images are complemented by INTERVIEWS and ARCHIVES of former students from the first class (1997), who question the transmission of an inherently sensitive and ephemeral art. The film draws a parallel between two generations, two eras, two youths who share a common passion: the art of movement.
