L' Enfant des glaces on stage. The passage of time. Time is represented by different flashes.
A flash, action... darkness, time passes... A flash, action... darkness, time passes.
I have 2 hands because there are two sides to the stage.
The man's side represents his life, his memories, his clothes, his story, which he forgets.
We always commit the same errors, so, man forgets...his life machine, metal, noise, speed,
violence...life. The child s side, woman, timelessness,
immateriality...represented by a wall of water on which we project the evanescence
that allows her to discover her body, her movements, her voice, sound and singing.
Slowly, a shoe, a sock, slowly becomes woman, moves closer to man.
So, we have time which brings them together. The two worlds are separated by a wall of light. They don t see each other in the wall of light.
It s a meeting of emotions. This is where they will have their first duet.
The man feels the ghost of this woman coming from the other side and
The woman senses the presence of the man on the other side as well. The two of them will fall in love, will couple.He will attract her to his side, in his life.
She will accept his life. He'll get her used to his machine and they will leave together. They are complicit, it s pleasurable.
There's discovery until it all begins to go too fast. It becomes speed, noise, exaggeration, decadence.
Everything overflows, goes too fast. It all comes apart,
including the set. The man collapses, the woman cries and
life continues. The man goes to l'Enfant des glaces.
Death...so that life can emerge. Voila, that is the story of L'Enfant des glaces.
The woman gives birth to a child, who comes out of the life machine. Voilà, that is the story of L'Enfant des glaces.
L'Enfant des glaces is like an abstract painting from we can take or project our own images, our life, our history.
I have given certain clues. Many will want to use these clues.
For others, I suggest to forget them, start from scratch
and to take in L'Enfant according to your emotions and...
we'll talk after the show.
