Chute is a project born of the meeting between a dancer who juggles and a juggler who dances.
It quickly became clear that, in their research, both were perpetually in conflict with a universal physical phenomenon: gravity. Objects and/or bodies fall... That's a fact! And experience shows us that, when juggling/dancing, it's quite rare to overcome gravity on the first try. You have to start all over again to find a way of defying this law, persevering, adapting, cheating, sometimes being a little in denial or, another tactic, completely accepting this fall in order to play with it and bounce back. In this duo, we go through the reactions we can have to the imminent fall of ourselves and others. Whether funny, violent, selfish or helpful, our actions lead to an imbalance of body and object that has the potential to transform itself into something else. In a playful chain of cause and effect, we invite the audience to follow the evolution of two unpredictable characters in their quest for balance. Through this show, we question everyone's relationship with risk and failure. Whatever we undertake in our lives, the possibility of not succeeding is there, and we don't experience it in the same way, depending on our personality, our life path, our age... |
