Guided by their respective practices of dance and song, Marco Berrettini, Jonathan Capdevielle and Jérôme Marin join forces for the first time and sway the frontiers of cabaret, in the form of performers surpassed by their roles.
If all the world is a stage, it is safer to say that the stage is a world. That of the music-hall is like a disco ball which captures and reflects an infinite number of realities, artistic disciplines, moods, avatars, lights, things and clever tricks. It is host to both the fairy-like and the pathetic, set to the tune of dance-inducing variety. But between the artist, the character, and man, who is actually onstage? This bewildering question – a notion which lies at the very heart of entertainment – guides Marco Berrettini, Jonathan Capdevielle and Jérôme Marin in this Music all in which self-abandon and failure are its explosive driving forces. Camped out a motorway rest area, the trio – accompanied by the actor-stuntman Franck Saurel – indulge in an array of hits, revisited and transformed live onstage by the musician Théo Harfoush. Together they bring us a never-ending music-hall number in which the desires and obsessions of each of them comes to light. The evening's proceedings are shiny, with lots of thrills and spills, wrapped up in an uninterrupted movement of characters performing a choreographic, theatrical and musical piece of work with, from time to time, improvised passages.
In the same place
Kurō Tanino Maître obscur
In what ways does the unstoppable development of artificial intelligence (AI) permeate our lives and behaviour? Kurō Tanino, playwright of the poetry of our everyday lives and the imperceptible movements of the psyche, brings to the stage a world in which technology reveals the depths of our unconscious.
Katerina Andreou Bless This Mess
The choreographer Katerina Andreou draws upon the constant confusion and noise of the world as the driving force in this her first group piece. Playfulness, absurdity, fiction and poetry arise from within this mental and emotional state.
Satoko Ichihara Yoroboshi: The Weakling
Taking his inspiration from traditional Japanese forms, playwright and director Satoko Ichihara brings us a puppet theatre for today's world. It is a troubled one, in which the story revolves around the ambiguous nature of the dolls. In this modern tale, loneliness, suffering and sexuality are the driving forces behind these puppets the various weaknesses of which makes them ever more human.
Marcus Lindeen, Marianne Ségol Memory of Mankind
By reconstituting four perfectly extraordinary, but very real, stories Marcus Lindeen and Marianne Ségol raise questions about the notion of memory. Their unique form of theatre, in which spoken words of a personal nature are exchanged and feed off each other, is scrupulously crafted and philosophical in equal measure.
Alice Laloy Le Ring de Katharsy
There are no puppets in this large-scale new work by puppeteer Alice Laloy. Instead, we encounter humans which have been transformed into avatars and then thrown into a ring In order to compete in increasingly violent matches. This mise en abyme, at the frontier between wrestling-inspired ritual and video game scenario, invites us to question the limits of a society which simply follows orders.
