UMWELT de l'autre côté des miroirs

What is not seen, what is hidden
At the back of the stage, another choreography takes place, timed to the millimeter where everyone plays first for themselves: no time to give for particular attention external to what is to be done, lingering to help someone , dream, everything is counted and everyone, in order not to miss any of their entries in the visible face of the spectators, is held to implacable autonomy, can only count on themselves, in a sort of jungle made up of individualism and order which does not accept, in principle, any side steps. Everyone must have extremely precise movements to grab their accessories, undress, change costumes, while continuing to follow during this time what is happening in front of them, which is being shown to the public.
For the implementation of this work, and despite the difficulties linked to the multitude of vignettes, the change of costumes, the intense noise of the music, were created and even stronger than the individual resourcefulness to get by, solidarity, mutual aid which made possible the articulation of several entries, considered impossible to achieve. If the front stage gives the image of a landscape in disarray, a future obstructed by everyone for themselves, conversely, the back stage carries within itself the image of what, until today Today has never ceased to contain misfortune a little: the common need to act together to contribute to the well-being of all.

This film, far from being another capture, interweaves the two sides of the show: the frontal shot seen from a theater, and the one, invisible to the spectators, on the other side of the mirrors.
A production where we will be able to discover and follow a dramaturgy that is very different and rarely observed and yet complementary to that which takes place on stage. This immersion reinforces the impression of the real time of the show and makes us feel the urgency and dizziness of the meticulous work of collective interpretation at work in the middle of the storm.
