Titi Tombe - Titi Tombe Pas
The Pascal Rousseau Company, France.
Titi loves balance! He is a perfectionist who lives and plays alone in his world of wooden edifices built out of wooden cubes. He receives an unexpected visit from Nana, half fairy half child, who arrives with her freshness, curiosity and freedom. She runs, twirls and discovers everything with naivety. Their encounter will put into question their truths. Titi is hurled into the a world of imbalance. A timeless moment, full of poetry and humor through the unique language of the body and objects. |

Le Jazz Fait Son Cirque
|
Les Nouveaux Nez Company & Cavajazz, France.
Will the Circus conquer the Jazz? Will the Jazz enter the Circus? Two clowns who play jazz marvelously and three jazzmen immersed in comedy compose both for a rich spectacle. (with: Tiboum, Philippe Euvrad, Eric Longswoth, Alain Reynaud, Nicolas Bernard) Voici donc sur scène l'imagerie du clown… sur la musicalité du jazz. Chacun a franchi la frontière : le clown est devenu jazzman et le jazzman un peu clown. Le clown s'approprie le jazz et le jazz prend sa liberté dans le jeu du clown le temps d'un spectacle, chacun s'amusant sur et avec les partitions de l'autre. Chacun joue dans la cour, dans le répertoire de l'autre, et la poésie particulière de ces deux univers, comme par magie, n'en fait plus qu'une. Ils funambulent sur les notes, ils jonglent avec des accords tantôt improvisés et tantôt écrits, ils jouent avec des instruments devenus tout à coup accessoires. Et voici nos cinq saltimbanques sur cette ligne entre rire et émotion en partance pour cette nouvelle aventure, unis par une musique sans frontière. Un croisement des répertoires, des genres pour une aventure artistique singulière et atypique ! |
Les Fabricants du Songe
The Loups Masqués Company, France.
Inspired by the craftsmen's scenes in Shakespeare's play, Midnight Summer Dream. The story of a bunch of office workers, men and women equally ordinary and extraordinary. Their dream, to perform and entertain the Court on the occasion of the wedding of the Duke and Duchess. Five characters, ridiculous and touching on a journey full of physical comedy. |
