Rafales
Creators: Patricia Eggerickx, Isabelle Airaud, Shantala Pèpe, Hugues Girard, Thomas Turine
Fleeing along a road strewn with pitfalls, a group moves inexorably forward, united in the face of imminent danger. On stage, the five performers form a solid body, facing up to uncertainty by exploring the gestures of mutual aid and cooperation, as well as rivalry and fantasies. Between concrete physical actions and the abstraction of the landscapes they traverse, the bodies seem sucked into a fragmented space-time. They multiply their attempts to reconstruct their environment, the better to emancipate themselves from it. Navigating between realism and dream, "Rafales" unfolds a choreographic, pictorial and sonic tale of migration and mutual aid.
