A duet for a juggler and drummer, S’assurer de ses propres murmures is above all a story of friendship. Giving pride of place to receptiveness and virtuosity, Julien Clément and Pierre Pollet urge each other on until they reach a trance-like state.
A Persian rug and subdued lighting: on a stage that looks like a small lounge, juggler Julien Clément, a founding member of the Petit Travers collective, and drummer Pierre Pollet magnify the complementary nature of their art. Beginning with a minimalist game in an intimate atmosphere, the two artists gradually add complexity to their score until they attain a trance-like state. Joshing and encouraging their partner, they urge each other on as the tempo quickens and the sound builds and intensifies, while maintaining a subtle balance in which neither discipline ever gains the upper hand. In S’assurer de ses propres murmures, the duo reject gratuitous virtuoso gestures and further explore the relationship they created with the short-form Formule in 2017. Starting with the idea that listening, rather than speaking, is the basis for all dialogue, they give substance before our eyes to a kind of non-verbal poetry.
