Infundibulum
And what if we were to bring together Marie, Birdy and Tati on stage?
Swallowed up by the “infundibulum”, a giant funnel with wooden slopes, the acrobats and musicians enter into the depths of a sartorial and sensual subconscious.
And what if we were to bring together Marie, Birdy and Tati on stage?
Swallowed up by the “infundibulum”, a giant funnel with wooden slopes, the acrobats and musicians enter into the depths of a sartorial and sensual subconscious. It is as if a man had laid out his entire wardrobe, a wardrobe made up of souvenirs and haunted by a series of mysterious characters: ghosts or puppets, both loved and scorned. They bond, disappear, come together, posing for ephemeral pictures, joined in an undefined quest.
Their acrobatics serve a mad scientist’s creation, a stubborn and exhausting machinery. The music unfolds tirelessly, enveloping their leaps and suspensions within a single bubble. But their fall is inevitable, as if the circus apparatus – the pole, pulley and juggling balls – had been set out to trap these obstinate dreamers.
Any attempt to escape or break free is bound to fail – until the final leap.
Set in motion by Mauro Paccagnella, this raging yet tender ballet brings together 8 acrobats and 3 musicians against the background of a monumental stage design, a structure made of wood and metal suspended at the back of the stage. A unique acrobatic and choreographic language is outlined along its vertiginous slopes. A series of pictures unfolds, fragments of our collective memory and subjective subconscious, somewhere between the real and the imaginary, madness and fragility. Infundibulum is a surprisingly unsettling and moving show, which avoids the grandiose and focuses on the intimate. Losing the way would mean following its path.
