A man, a pebble and an excessively low sky. Faire fleurir brings together a dancer, two musicians and unsettling scenography, in a confined space that forbids standing.
A white canvas, hung 1.50 m above the ground, describes a cavelike ceiling, an impenetrable sky, or a vault of silence and shadows. Here, humankind is self-searching differently, on all fours. Seated around this wall-less cavern, the audience observe the slow metamorphosis of a body inventing new postures, new ways of existing. Nicolas Fayol, who has a background in breaking, slows and stretches his gestures, making them legible and engaging our senses. Each touchpoint – knuckle, elbow, shoulder-blade, ear – becomes a listening point. In a landscape of sounds and stones, and an animalistic yet childlike atmosphere, man reinvents his connection with the ground. In suspended time and space, he tracks, breathes, brushes and charts a fragile and sensitive spacetime. A close-cropped kind of dance, which gracefully considers what a different future for the body could be.
