I always get the same pleasure out of setting dance or circus to music. Here, with circus artist Hélène Bou, it’s a bit of both. This will be a show for corde lisse in which the performance is substantial, with Hélène staying on the rope for over 30 minutes.

But it is also a dance performance, a weightless dance in which every gesture counts. What we see is not the force, but the delicacy of the gesture, and the slowness that matches that of the musical score.

The music is a piece for bandoneon and Logelloop. It is broadcast on a constellation of 16 loudspeakers enveloping the entire space and giving volume to time. You can also hear some sounds captured during my recent stay in the Finnish forest. Ambiences and sounds of exotic animals that blend surreptitiously with our local fauna.

We’ll be playing TresseS on 12 September, surrounded by a host of sound and visual designers whose presentations you won’t want to miss, at the Marées Max 2024 organised by Logelloù.

We’ll also be playing in the garden of Café Théodore in Trédrez-Locquemeau on Thursday 19 September 2024, at 7pm.
