A la renverse
Screen adaptation of Mathilde Monnier’s “A la renverse”, according to the original rythm of the show : crescendo.
Adaptation to the screen of the show A la renverse by Mathilde Monnier, composed according to the original rhythm of the piece that goes crescendo. The film starts with the mocking walkabout of an employee in a fictitious library where the floor is now the ceiling. Soon, a distraught population runs in all directions between the shelves.
The subtle framing respects, without further showing, the choice of a writing that fragments gestures. The image slides with kindly autonomy over the turbulent group which, no sooner dispersed, forms elsewhere symmetrical tutti. Pushing and shoving, punching, collisions to the virtuoso clarinet of Louis Sclavis, who only very briefly interrupts his jerky beat. Strange solos then nestle in these silent breaths. In this second work choreographed without Jean-François Duroure, Mathilde Monnier starts to show her taste for an eruptive writing style, tempered by moments of abandon.
