PREMIÈRES RENCONTRES Festival 2022: Shows Programme

THE WHOLE PROGRAM HERE

Debout de bois – Company L’Oiseau Monde

It is the story of a little being – made of wood – who is born into an unknown universe, who learns to discover the world, his world. First of all, he learns to grasp its contours, its extremities. Then to build a shelter. Little by little, he worries about the details, searches, discovers, tries, fails, tries again, rises. It is also the story of an encounter, strong, essential, which will change everything. Finally, it is the story of the before, the after, and the hope: nothing is ever totally finished, everything changes, just like this little world of sand and wood.

UP ! – Company LagunArte

UP is a short word that expresses the top in English, but in Basque it is an interjection that calls for caution. The child is growing up and this is a constant preoccupation, the adult even encourages him to go faster, sometimes too fast. This show is the metaphor of a personal construction, of the extraordinary elaboration of what one becomes.

Rêve d’air – Company La Tortue

This show is part of the triptych “Nos Palais Intimes” with Rêve de Pierre – hosted as part of the Pépite programme in 2020 – and Rêve de Fer. The main theme of these shows is the monumental work of the Facteur Cheval. With this more immersive form, the artist questions the relationship between the stage space and the audience. It will be the result of extensive research during residencies in nurseries.

Roy s’endort, a winter’s tale – Thomas Casey

“Why sleep, if I can dream awake?
It’s evening, a winter’s evening, time to go to bed, but Roy doesn’t want to sleep. He looks at the moon. He thinks about his day, about everything he has done. He gets lost in his daydreams; he likes to dream, but he doesn’t like to sleep. He likes to dream awake. So in order not to fall asleep he gets up, starts dancing, singing. Unless it’s a dream…

Früh Stück – Helios Theater

What do we hear when we listen? How does the room sound around us? And when does the music start? A musical breakfast that unfolds around a railway track: a player explores the sound of things, bodies, others and themselves, a rhythm is built, a melody, a song, an audio landscape grows in our ears and before our eyes. An invitation to “Breakfast” – not only for the ears…

Manta – Company Klankennest

Inspired by the peaceful and hypnotic movements of the giant manta ray, the show invites exploration, wonder and play. The youngest children venture out and manipulate the device, its sound objects, its light effects, its wooden and fabric elements.
Variations of rhythms and improvisations, singing, percussion and cello make up this exciting journey towards the secrets of the sea bed.
This show makes you want to be a baby again.

Racines – La Minoterie – Petits Bonheurs

A child has to deal with the detachment of his parent. He or she wonders why, day by day, this parent is moving away? Alone in a forest of emotions, the child must learn to navigate these troubled waters between fusion and feelings of abandonment. “Racines” is the inner monologue of this child from 18 months to 3 years old who deals with the delicate sensation of an inescapable rupture between him and his parent.

What is that ? – Company Aaben Dans

Curiosity is the most powerful engine when a small child discovers the world. A drive that can last a lifetime. Through movement and dance, the dancers explore both body and space without taking anything for granted.

Distribution

It is a reverie in the middle of the elements and materials common to all living things that is proposed. Births, transformations, arborescences, punctuate the discovery of gardens of sensations created in fabrics and plant colours, and inhabited by an acrobat whose balancing and suppleness games participate in immersing the public in the heart of an almost meditative contemplation.
