Choreographed by Eric Oberdorff and premiered by the Cie Humaine on February 2009. "Un autre rêve américain" ("Another American Dream") questions about the left behind by the "American way of life". In a scenery designed like a Tennessee Williams' play set, a theatrical dance tells the fragility of those whom life has not spared, as found in the writings by Charles Bukowski, Walt Whitman, Sam Shepard, Jim Harrison : exacerbated bodies, descendants of the marathon dancers of "They Shoot Horses, Dont They?"; tough contacts between human beings who a mere nothing could break; round gesture, even delicate, suddenly electrified by uncontrolled noise and fury fits, a dance with the rock spirit that animated Patti Smith when she wrote the early 80's Democratic anthem: "People have the power".
