SMALL VICTORY

CREATION 2025

Bip ! beep ! Weeeeep !
The washing machine rings, the audience of imaginary spectators disappears, chimerical creatures disappear, objects become immobile again.
Game time ends. Back to reality.
He finds himself alone, surrounded by a washing machine, a filled laundry basket and a broom.
A simple task on the agenda : start a washing machine.
But success is not so easy.
The adventures follow one another, victories and failures follow one another, emotions flow, full and intense.
One wrong step and everything changes.

NOTE D’INTENTION

This choreographic piece invites you to enter into the intimacy of a clumsy dreamer, plongeant dans un décor domestique où chaque élément devient reflet de son intérieur mental et émotionnel. In this sensitive space, each task becomes an excuse to overcome the ordeal of a dull and insipid daily life. La banalité prend son importance dans ce qu’elle devient potentiel échec ou victoire, small or large.
How to deal with the loneliness that creeps into this daily friction ?
It is from this questioning that we will follow this individual absorbed in his imagination, coloriant ces objets inertes d’une âme et se jouant de toutes tâches pour basculer dans un monde fantasque.

However, the choreographic writing immediately changes, sliding towards a new imaginary universe, invitant à suspendre le temps par une danse ciselée passant d’une rapidité folle au ralentis le plus extrême. The game is then revealed, it is no longer a question of filling the void of reality, mais bien de le transcender pour en faire émerger un espace poétique.
What follows is the pleasure of discovering what new bodily technology will be invented moment by moment in these romantic adventures..
Contemporary dance techniques, break dance, acrobatics are explored to nourish a rich universe letting us sense playfulness and hidden joy.
The notion of imbalance is at the heart of choreographic writing, metaphor of uncertainty, feverishness and characterizing movements made approximate. The lunar individual is cluttered, carrying around a mountain of clothes, revealing the weight of duty. Carried away in its momentum, he no longer controls his movements, collapses, rises. The fall becomes a reason to highlight the ambient emotional heaviness but also the funnyness of a moment when everything escapes us.
