État des lieux

Discovering a place,

a cloister,

a garden,

an alley,

a parking,

a playground,

a dock…

États des Lieux was born from the wish to commit outdoor places with music and dance. Each spot creates a new space-time, generating a new musical and choreographic creation. Leading the audience to a new perception of a place. Everything is suspended on the now. The place is taken out of the ordinary and resonates for a special moment.

Music and dance come together in a threesome. A percussionist and two dancers, a man and a woman, share the same space and communicate. Through History, social function and architecture of the chosen spot, the artists find new ways to mix their arts. They constantly challenge the moving bodies and presence.

Passing by, reaching for a look, brushing against, meet, create a relation, build, set rules, setting free, deconstructing.

They find new dynamics, possibilities and limits and fine tune their common language to unveil a singular surrounding. The audience, witness to the investigation, can be part of it, depending on its location. Close to the comedians, a game about distance and intimacy arises, building the plot of the play.

The places are tools, they generate diverse interactions between the artists and the audience.

Fragile or strong, the three comedians give a touching but sometimes dangerous performance.
