ACRO-CHOREOGRAPHIC STORY - CREATED IN HANGAR 23/ROUEN IN OCTOBER 2013 (1h10)

PASSION SIMPLE
(SIMPLE PASSION)

Adaptation of the eponymous novel by Annie Ernaux (Edition Gallimard).

Passion Simple explores the mechanisms of passion, the most intense point of friction in the relationship with others and with oneself. Through the setting in motion of Annie Ernaux's text - recorded in voiceover - three dancer-acrobats go through torment and ecstasy in a dialogue between words and gestures, between intimate and universal. The bodies are in turn sublimated and torn apart by an overwhelming absence.

Florence Caillon explores the territories of dance and circus and the mixing of disciplines within the movement itself. Far from traditional circus prowess, she favors other forms of solicitation of the body, where fragility and imbalance are the foundations of an acro-choreographic and mixed vocabulary. This body language will be confronted for the first time with a literary work, the movement coming in counterpoint to the words, in tension with the sound of the voice or in resonance with the sober and powerful poetry of the story.
