Virginie Brunelle - Fables
Description
Sensitive observer of the tumults of a world in full effervescence, Virginie Brunelle dares to undertake one of her most ambitious creations, for ten performers and one live musician – a series of disturbing tableaux that shake audiences to the core.
Through a rigorous movement vocabulary, Fables offers a sometimes harsh, sometimes poetic vision of women’s ongoing struggle. Against the backdrop of the chaos of an era turned upside down, the piece projects us into fantastical spaces, from which larger-than-life characters emerge – contemporary female archetypes who paved the way to freedom from invisible yet real barriers. A universe of great evocative power, echoing a crying need for utopia, hope and humanity.
