Actualités
“Everything seems to pull them apart, but it’s only a matter of perspective… Her, choreographer and performer, enthusiast to the dynamic gesture of dance, theatre and performance… Him, motionless gesture virtuoso, dream artist, freezing his body in invisible sculptures then taking pictures in astounding situations… Both fascinated by the absurd, the body and the need to rationalize the irrational… Passage à l’acte materializes almost four years of passionate discussion between the two, aiming to attract each artist on the other’s field.
Finally suiting the action to the word, Fanny de Chaillé and Phillippe Ramette have invented a “dramatic form” to tame each other’s gesture – the constraint of movement for her, the exposure in the theatre for him.”
