A show for three levitating bodies, Dehors est blanc causes us to gradually lose our bearings. By disorientating our perceptual habits, Tumbleweed reminds us that our relationship with the world is fragile indeed.
Three beings hang in the air courtesy of cables and counterweights. When they make the first, meticulous and finely graduated moves of their weightless choreography, our bearings scramble and time seems to stand still. The performers, keeping a fragile and ever-transient balance, seem to rise towards the floor or fall upwards. Mindful to constantly enrich its artistic practice with knowledge from other disciplines, and having a particular fascination for natural and weather phenomena, the Tumbleweed duo – Angela Rabaglio and Micaël Florentz – here draw their inspiration from the whiteout. This optical phenomenon, which erases contrasts and envelops all contours in a uniform white glow, completely disorientates the senses. Cradled by Anne Lepère’s contrast-rich sound design, the spectator too will soon feel strangely, intoxicatingly giddy.
