Une idée sinon vraie…

Based on music composed by Ana Sokolović, this new work features the choreographer and dancer Marc Boivin and the Quatuor Bozzini. The musical score in seven movements is a reflection of seven symbolic characters in a commedia dell’arte world. In a single body, Marc Boivin expresses a parallel narrative of these diverse personalities. Like a Russian stacking doll, he goes through them one after another to reach the essence of their sensitivity and their universal dimension in a family portrait that is surprising, to say the least. The audience is plunged into a cascade of sensations that gives rise to vertigo, an irrevocable attraction for the mysteries of the individual and a questioning of our freedom to be. With great attention to detail, Marc Boivin’s unsettling performance, supported by the four musicians onstage, delivers an accomplished exercise in style. Far from conventional codes of theatre, the piece confronts the idea (that if not true is at least plausible) of what we are, of our vulnerable, changing perception of reality. A demanding solo on the perishable truths we depend on, and our multiple personalities and their contradictions
