Théâtre du Mouvement

A simple rule which becomes a complex dramatic game: she must not leave the ground.

Stalingrad, he dashes off a final letter to his wife, Marie, to inform her that he is near death.
“Marie, I am writing to you again even though I only wrote yesterday. Things have reached such a point that it is time for me to bid you farewell. I won’t be coming back, Marie, but space and time are the only things which could come between us…”
A metaphor which becomes clear over the course of multiple variations on the theme of carrying: bearing the weight of the absence of a beloved other.

    A humorous, poetic performance, an ingenious combination of songs and geometrically-aligned bodies… Mime, music, the theatre of objects and acrobatic bravura are all wrapped up in a tale as absurd as it is naive, all infused with a sense of breathless imagination.
