Spectacle "Alexis"
Dance: "Alexis" performance, presented by the MJC of Rodez - Théâtre des 2 Points, Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 8:30 p.m.
By Ample Man Danse
A choreographic “epic” centered on the famous Trotteur, the legend who ran faster than horses, ships, and trains.
Follow the five performers in a dynamic and, at times, horse-like dance inspired by the personality, passion, and madness of Alexis Lapointe, known as “the horse-man.”
Marginalized and denigrated by the “esteemed theater circles” that could not accept his eccentricity, this figure from Quebec folklore—with his extraordinary physical abilities—became, for the societyof the time, a sideshow attraction adored for his feats and applauded by all with curiosity and admiration. How would Alexis—this “eternal adolescent” who dared to celebrate his difference—be received today?
%AB More than a historical portrait, *Alexis* offers a reflection on identity, social integration, and the way others see us through a dynamic and interactive on-stage discussion. %BB *La Pige*
