2011-2012 Original production
“Enter a world where comedy and poetry are calling the shots, treat yourself to a full blast sound massage, a celebration of unprecedented dreamlike fantasies. Food processors, hair-dryers, all kinds of everyday objects have seized control and are now dragging you along some sort of incredible, unexpected saraband, a post-modern savage dance in which you lose all bearings and begin to sway – sail along.”
Jacques LIVCHINE
Description
A BRIEF INTERSTELLAR TRIP
A dark place, an industrial atmosphere, an experimental lab in the shape of a Christmas cracker.
Mirrors on the ceiling allow to break through a hidden reality.
Usual objects moving around in circles, as the world goes.
Two characters looking for a way out: Marie-Claire & Captain Kirk.
All around: an endlessly shifting network.
Straight out of an old-school American soap opera, or middle-aged women’s magazine, Marie-Claire tries to escape her boring life by turning her kitchen into a spaceship. In his cockpit is Captain Kirk, who helps her learn to levitate.
Countdown begins ticking: we take off and the journey begins.
It’s a never-ending series of wonderful surprises: think circus freak, amusement park, apple-planet, funfair rides, Ferris wheel, bicycle, and here is Zoltar making our wishes come true at the animation stand…
