Pluridisciplinary Projects
Polymorphic choreographer, Martin Harriague is in turn, scenographer, dancer, performer, light designer, composer, musician, singer… and who likes to summon different disciplines to explore different media and formats: dance pieces, short films, operas, performances outside the walls, video clips…
Short films
Ressource
Film with the dancers of the Malandain Ballet Biarritz proposing an allegory of leaving a supposedly civilized and ultra-industrialized world. Human chrysalises, fruits of an oppressive plastic universe, hatch and find a way out into the light with dance.
Directed by Maxime Dos & Martin Harriague
REMINISCE
Short film directed by Martin Harriague, Mariko Kakizaki (dancer at L.E.V Sharon Eyal), Yoshi kataoka (Japanese director) in Tokyo – August 2018.
Sol
Students from the Dance-Studies Section of INSA Toulouse have taken part in the Regards Croisés Festival since its creation. Despite the cancellation of the 2021 edition of this festival organized in partnership with the Bilbao Foundation, Dantzagunea and Kale Companhia de dança, Martin Harriague created SOL. This dance-video project carried out in one day with the student-engineers testifies to the loneliness of the students during the COVID crisis.

``Outside-the-walls``
Serre
More than a ballet, it is a performance in the form of a reflection on lockdown. To signify caging, Martin Harriague has chosen a garden greenhouse where an apparently inert naked man is visited by a person encased in a white spacesuit, similar to caregivers protecting themselves from head to toe from viruses. The universe is disembodied, populated by aggressive sounds until the intrusion of a living being: a mosquito…
Spectrum & Folia
Duets created for the opening of the FASHIONCLASH Fashion Festival in Maastricht, the Netherlands, in June 2016.
Asteroidea
