Fractales
Creation 2017
1h
From the age of 8
At the heart of a universe in constant mutation, five individuals move, morph and radiate across the landscape. Their bodies use the acrobatic language of circus and dance to accompany the slow metamorphosis of the environment in which they are an integral part.
Their bodies are both active and passive : confronting organic matter, they accompany it, evade it, crash against it and melt into it. Like fractals, nothing here has a beginning nor an end, but is part of a continuum, of which the spectator only glimpses an instant. In this decomposing, recomposing universe, humanity is buoyed along by an optimistic curiosity
for the unknown and for « otherness », because the end of every single thing is also the beginning of something else.
By harmoniously and chaotically bonding with this permanantly regenerating biotope, the bodies reflect all that is random and unpredictable, letting a disturbing strangeness flow through them as they are struck by fleeting moments of beauty.
Fractales is a reaction to the multitude of proclaimed « endings » in perspective : the end of an economic system, of an ecological system, of a political system, etc… the piece opens a new chapter in the company’s exploration into humankind and Nature, this time drawing inspiration from the observation of life and living things, faced with
the inconsistence of a landscape in transformation. The five artists onstage, along with the set designer, experience a cyclical and chaotic transformation, followed and accompanied by revival.
« Chaos is filled with hope because it heralds a rebirth. » Coline Serreau
«… Fanny Soriano has composed a five-piece score jewel with, as instruments to embody this symphony for the environment, which fascinates her so much, coral lenses, small pieces of cork and large sections of fabric which she plays beautifully ... »
