Very happy to see Cie L’Oublié(e) and Raphaëlle Boitel come back to Auch for the festival this year.
Raphaëlle is a choreographer, and her latest opus is in fact two shorter works, played one after the other.
La Bête Noir – talks about a woman’s inner struggles – lots of writhing around, but the light and her movements create a very interesting spectacle.
In the second act she climbs a ladder – or what seems to be a ladder – but the ‘rungs’ are in fact large steps that move from right to left creating a really interesting patterns of movement both for the steps, but also for Raphaëlle to perform on.
Petite Reine was the second piece, performed by Fleurianne Cornet (and her bicycle) – and ( I quote) « tackles the issue of being held captive by love » – oh ok…
High on imagery, the lighting was excellent (but there’s never really enough for a photographer…) and created a great atmosphere.
While I very much enjoyed the two, the first one won in my opinion.
