The Cave Canem company was established in Toulouse in August 2000 and has been nurturing the work of Philippe Combes since then. The company's activity focuses on two complementary axes. On the one hand the production and the distribution of choreographic pieces, either in the settings of traditional places such as frontal theatre stages, or in special settings such as museums, waste land or in the open air; on the other hand the development of encounters with different publics like public rehearsals, and choreographic workshops. These choreographic pieces : “Dromos” in 2006, “X” in 2005, “Magma” in 2004, “Asterios” and “L-Dopa” in 2003, are performed in France and abroad on the occasion of various collaborations.

AsteriosTow independent and complementary works produced at two different times are well-matched here, offering the spectacle of two visions of survival of a being. 1st part: Minotaur-ex, a short film 2nd part: solo Asterios IS the dying monster. Played by a woman, paradoxical in her femininity contrary to the masculine monster, but similar for all that, because she conveys the fertility symbolized by the bull, the Minotaur's father. On a litter of powdery earth, she delivers a brutal and obstinate dance, head lowered, with furious footwork, doing battle with herself, falling, getting up and falling again until she drops from exhaustion.
