Mouving proposes an astonishing journey.
Three unusual characters, visibly wandering or at least on the move, wait for a bus... which never seems to arrive. Little by little, they embark on a journey driven by a boundless imagination, where the scenery changes at the speed of their madness. Linked by an improbable love triangle, these paradoxical beings with awkward but surprisingly agile bodies discover, irritate, love and strangle each other in a whirlwind of the imaginary.
Somewhere between physical theater, clowning, and object theater, this creation explores the themes of wandering and travel, in a universe where imagination and reality gradually merge. This journey, through the simplicity of its execution and the complexity of its travelers, allows for the emergence of a humanity that is both scathing and touching, cruel and poetic, imbued with a delicious madness.
The almost total absence of text makes this play accessible to a wide audience, regardless of language or age.
« “Mouving is difficult to define: it’s not clowning, it’s not a contemporary version of Commedia dell’Arte, but rather a kind of offspring of these two genres: voiceless cousins of Sol and Gobelet, real but unapproved heirs of Buster Keaton... One thing’s for sure, it’s theater of great sophistication. [...] What moves me, I think, is that we’re dealing here with that beautiful thing that is pure theater - actors, a score, a secret pact with the audience - which means that Mouving can only exist in theater.” »
