Furieuse
Sometimes certain situations are so sensitive that if we were not to stand up straight in the framework created by the gaze of others, we could collapse, loose ourselves.
This is the starting point for Furieuse, a choreographic circus performance for two acrobatic dancers. It is the sensitive transcription of a surge of anger, using two tools: the body and drawing.
Furieuse is a color chart, offering a sensitive range of expressions that anger can take.
Sitting in a circle, as if around a ring, the audience witnesses the overflow of two women who are less and less able to control the restraint of their emotion and are overwhelmed. In a simultaneous progression, bodies, breaths, voices, and printed fabrics open a space in a whirlwind.
Anger can be the origin of agitation, therefore of movements, of changes. We consider anger here as opposed to indifference, resignation, and condescension which call for inertia.
Saying “no” results from the ability to imagine other spaces where a “yes” is possible.
