Through a broadcast of video images, Carolyn Carlson introduces us into a metaphysical universe where the sacred and the profane interfere: the Carsonian symbolism has never been so obvious, as well as its affiliation with the magician Alwin Nikolaïs.
The sequences shot in the woods give an ecological character to the show: the water, the trees, the small paths, the stone which rolls harmoniously and which becomes the symbol of the real and the imaginary; this in a nebulous light close to a Fantin Latour and an Odilon Redon. The scale brandished in space by Larrio looms in infinity to generate the mysteries of Carolyn Carlson crunching the poisoned apple, Larrio playing with her the Prince Charming, reveals the comical gifts of the “Divine”. She finds her poetic aura in her aerial walk in the woods, this is the image of Botticelli’s Printemps. Modern dance revisited by Carolyn Carlson fits perfectly into this surrealistic universe dedicated to fraternity, to pure love.
