Pavilion

Pavilion was conceived as a concept in itself. The construction can be crossed from both ends. Visible by its neighbours, this assemblage welcomes the visitors and offers them a panoramic view of the world of art and live performance.

Memory
The history written by the Principality of Monaco with live performance is powerful: it hosted Serge de Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company for many years throughout the last century. The way creation was then considered, by gathering artists from different artistic fields, led to a model which is still a reference today. Historical pieces have indeed been created in Monte Carlo. This peculiar enlightenment around dance is still broadcasted today by the Compagnie des Ballets de Monte Carlo. Its creations are multiple, as choreographers of all styles are invited to produce high-level shows.

Imagination
This dynamic of sharing is also at work in the Pavillon Bosio through its collaboration with the Ballets
de Monte Carlo. Indeed, for more than ten years, its director and choreographer, Jean-Christophe Maillot, has been inviting the student-scenographers to join his dancers, thence becoming choreographers for a while.Accompanied by the pedagogical team of the Pavillon Bosio, they conceive together a series of choreographed pieces.

The encounter with the public takes place during an event entitled the Imprévus – Unforeseen Events. The shows most often take place in the studios of the company, and are later transformed in a theatre. The idea is to build a space for encounters, experimentations and sharing around a demanding scenic and choreographic expression. This research laboratory has been providing space to a large number of creations and has been helpful to emerging young authors.

Transformation/Education
To restitute these stage experiences, to shift them within an exhibition is the aim of the Pavilion project. It presents a space that is animated by recordings, photographs and archives. If nothing is fixed about the shape this pavilion takes, one certainty remains: the representations will be lively, focusing on the stakes of contemporary creation.
