“It is a circus dance performance inspired by the text Sans by Samuel Beckett, published in Têtes-Mortes in 1967. This text nourished my reflection on the theme of singularity and constitutes a support for the conception of the scenic landscape which takes shape during the piece.
At the same time destitute, voluntary and always in search of balance, the character I play works relentlessly to stand up, to stand upright. The spectator is invited to be the intimate witness of this quest for verticality, both tiny and titanic, where each gesture carries the density of a pure present, centered on the accomplishment of the essential.”
