REV
Creation 2010
REV speaks of the relationship between hope and suffering. The quest to live immensely our little lives. A clown, four circus artists and three singers. An explosive mix of circus, dance, song and theatre.
REV par Smelly-dog-films
We will look at our dreams as news channel about the world.
We will listen to the shadows to hear a nocturnal report, we will distance ourselves from newscasts, surveys, advertisements and other useless information to existence. We will use this material to build a narrative, as a mirror of the infiltration of our dream reality on our waking day : a volatile, alternative reality. Imagine understanding society by playing our dreams is a wacky and political act. A quest for revolution.
REVOLUTION
This word does not advance in straight lines, it contains the aspiration of rotating around a center of gravity.
Turnaround. A passage on the trail of a circle, returning to the starting point, but transformed. We revolve around ourselves at least once in our lives : incredible spiral of the foetus to navigate the narrow passage of the pelvic cavity. The risk of circus is itself a turnaround. Circus exposes the metaphysical alchemy of revolution - the acrobat’s somersault, the juggler’s spin, the trapezist’s pirouette. Turning on oneself, curled up like a spring, to be reborn and escape from the clutches of death. Revolution. Rotation. Repetition. These keywords in the circus refer to its primary meaning circle.
