The audience is involved in an imaginary world where you can find physical dance and little acts, like in a kind of family circus, like in the continuous and a bit dreamy dimension of a child’s game, but marking it with a touch of light smoothness and moments of refined invention.
A world full of humorous surprise in an atmosphere that recalls images of an old black and white movie we found in the loft
. Looking for the right words and being surprised at what I say.This performance talks about memories, including the memories we have never had, the lies we have repeated so many times that, in the end, we believe they really happened .
. In Japan, at the end of the performances, while applauding, the audience often scream a word that we westerners naturally associate with our: “Bravo!”. Translating it, it means: “You are very tired”.
To be vulnerable, to find a sort of innocence…
. Charlot is travelling on a boat. The sea is very rough. All the passengers are sick, many of them are throwing up .
Charlot is with his back to the camera, and he is bending over the balustrade, shaking. Everything makes us believe that he too is throwing up [evt. that he is also throwing up].
But when he turns, we discover that he was fishing and he has caught a small fish.
Only a little trick.
. To tell a story as if I were taking it by the tail is for me a pursuit without hurry.
In the end, man is a storyteller.
Today is the day for surprises.
