Five characters are mysteriously invited to an abandoned structure where they will laugh and shudder; this house has a soul and will prove to be a frenzied playground. Amazing feats, floor acrobatics and poetic, suspended postures: this high-flying performance alternates between comedy, physical prowess, and theatrical play, all set to an intoxicating soundtrack. The deeply felt emotions and perfectly executed stunts of these gifted artists create a contagious complicity that sweeps up a sixth character – the audience – in its wake.
Un petit trou de rien du tout
From socks to cheese, holes are everywhere, just like that, with no rhyme or reason. They can be widened or plugged up, seen but never touched. Sometimes a little hole is all it takes to consume the imagination and carry you away. Holes, like doors, are portals to surprising places.
In this minimalist, comedic performance, two actors make holes appear and play with them. The magic of this world is most amazing to the youngest audiences. What do you think these little holes will evoke for you?
Les Arrière-Mondes
Neither angels nor demons. Creators Patrick Bonté and Nicole Mossoux stack up troubling illusions to give birth, in this radical and one-of-a-kind ballet, to an eerie strangeness. Men and women from another age emerge from the dark. Their parallel paths – six black-veiled corridors – will successively reveal and swallow them. Blurred shapes with incongruous hair, bodies with shifting limits, to the point of losing balance, splitting into two, or even dismembering – those beings are wandering like specters that would disappear at once if we ever felt the need to extend our hands to touch them. Fear and wonder: a powerful combination!
