Gliding between the notes of Purcell and Marc Mellits, 10 jugglers and four musicians craft a little utopia, where the collective is founded on its members’ differences and singularities.
How can one achieve commonality without losing one’s individuality? To tackle this tricky philosophical matter, the Petit Travers collective and the Debussy Quartet have devised a self-reflexive, large-format piece on the practice of juggling. Through its teaching workshops and amateur creations, the collective has gauged the incredible singularity of the performers it has encountered along the way; and firmly intends, in Nos matins intérieurs, to celebrate this wealth of diversity. On a stage like a Lego baseplate, where large cubes describe landscapes that all offer play potential, 10 jugglers of different generations and nationalities match their rhythms and gestures in harmonious tableaux, before taking turns to break away. Gliding through the sound architectures of contemporary composer Marc Mellits and Baroque titan Henry Purcell, and through texts by bricolage-writer Jean-Charles Massera, they make the Petit Travers credo shine bright, coaxing forth the “mystery of life” from “simple, easily perceptible principles”.
