QUI EST LÀ ?

Phantom of the Opera? Halloween witch? A Miyazaki character?

Qui est là ? is a choreographic, visual and musical solo.
Hidden beneath a phosphorescent sheet, an acrobat-dancer appears, disappears, and transforms before our eyes. His moving body under the glowing fabric invites us to investigate: What am I seeing? Who is appearing? Insect, jellyfish, witch, ghost, superhero? A true image-making machine, Qui est là ? is a playful visual riddle in which children are invited to take part.

 

This creation is at the heart of cycle#2 PERCEVOIR, part of the FAIRE MONDE project.
