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.

XX, a 2005 quintet, forms part of a thematic cycle which started with the 2003 duet L-Dopa and Magma, a 2004 quintet. For X it was necessary to consider two approaches to an item of information. The first one involves the spectator as the event leading to the information unfolds, thereby enabling him to give his own meaning to that information. The second one holds the spectator at a distance, because it is delivered through the prism of visual preformatting, in a frenzied rhythm of accumulated sequences which can immediately be absorbed. X is composed of two parts, the first in the form of a performance and the second in the form of a frontal presentation.
