…The threat of an overflow of goods, the saturation of volumes, the collapse of human presence at delivery… The awakening of objects…
A performance weaving together cinema, automata, metamorphoses, dances, circus and puppetry.
The company summons an ascending memory of Asia from a rooted Caucasian body. Hybrid passing beings converse with souls, dwellers of inanimate, animated objects; moments embody their movements, their breaths. Souls / objects released from the factory of boredom, of desire.
A hypnotic adventure, in a raw dreamscape between inner and outer energy.
To transcend the living, to question its weight, its taste, its resistance, its resonance… inside as outside, and the other way round.
It is from this edge, where we gravitate in revolution, that strange encampments are intensely drawn in the mist, during a crossing from one shore to the other, on this eternal, luminous, gently floating bridge. The complicit interplay of materials, a multidimensional exploration of the included nothing.
