The dance theater Dinjan, a joint production by Compagnie Philippe Saire & Alias Compagnie, was played from 23.05.2002-15.06.2002 in the Théâtre des Roseaux on the Arteplage Neuchâtel (SUI) during the Swiss National Exposition, Expo.02.

The Compagnie Philippe Saire and Alias Compagnie proposed a three-step introduction to contemporary dance. The journey begins with a living exhibition, between dance and visual arts. It then continues with excerpts from their repertoire presented several times in the afternoon. Dintjan is completed with the performance of the two compagnies "La Haine de la Musique" (Saire) and "L'Odeur du Voisin" (Alias). These representations are preceded by the "Small Ball" in which dancers learn a few dance steps to the public so that all come together for a big party after the show.
