l’Un dans l’Autre
[One in the Other]
Premiered november 2015
A visual and musical performance for a well-matched couple
Featuring integrated and operated puppets, masks, shadow play and music
Duration: 50 min – all audiences, 12 years and over
Picture the happy scene: a man and a woman – or, perhaps, a woman and a man? Actually, it’s a couple – merged, matching, normal, in their floral-patterned home, with not a crease in sight. A pretty, golden cage, wherein tinkles the tiny mechanism of “normal” happiness. With a matching bedspread.
Then comes the night, carrying, in its dreamlike spaces, the combined bodies, with their secrets, their minor transgressions and their magnificent ambiguities. The masculine and the feminine get the measure of each other and then merge. One in the other, they reinvent themselves as tender mutants, in a visual and musical performance without words, amid wires, pulleys and puppets.
She and he navigate this initiatory quest, which blurs the genders and challenges the conventions of a binary society. Like a microcosm that gently questions our notions of couple identity.
