As a body that sloughs off and reveals the intimacy of a woman, the fantasies nestled in her acrobat body. What is it, day to day, to ask for “extraordinary” things to one’s own body? What is it to hang on by nothing more than a thread, physically, morally, poetically or philosophically?
Through electronic and acousmatic devices created by composer and stage director Wilfried Wendling, sound fills the whole space, envelopes us, dwells within the movement dialoguing between the vibrating words of author and comedian Laurence Vielle, bringing spaces and the body’s fantasies, from inside and outside, together. The acrobat’s breath is taken, amplified, electronically processed: the body thus becomes music. Sound seems to come from it, fuelling the doubts on what we’re hearing: real or imaginary sounds? From inside or outside? Present or passed?
