The theatre’s space is overwhelming: a twelve-meter-high round tower, a kind of silo, shrouded in darkness. The audience goes upstairs and sits along the walls. The view of the action is complete and all-encompassing. The artist, using all dimensions of the room, stands, climbs, falls, flies, disappears and then reappears. Light, sand, wind, fog, fire accompany him. He is Narcissus, fallen from above, perhaps drowned. Is he fighting? Is he trying to save himself? Is it a dance? An offstage voice comments: "What are you trying to say?” In the end, Narcussus disappears. Forever.
The performance creates images full of beauty and mystery; the French artist Brois Gibée gives a sense of loss and isolation to his figure as we watch it confront its own absolute and deliberate blindness. Extremely intense and captivating!
An unforgettable experience you shouldn’t miss.
