Est-ce que je peux me permettre d’attirer votre attention sur la brièveté de la vie?

Est-ce que je peux me permettre d’attirer votre attention sur la brièveté de la vie? spectacle ×

Première at the Opéra de Lausanne, November 26th, 2006. Choreography for 6 dancers.

In contrast to previous Philippe Saire creations, Could I just draw your attention to the brevity of life? performs a delicate upheaval of the normal conventions of entertainment and plays on them in a light yet precise way.

Using festive imagery, accessible and colourful, this creation has been conceived as a shrewd review that reveals itself in layers in order to reach and unravel the mechanisms of our thirst for distraction, that fascinating driving force of our lives and universal need.

And in answer to the question posed in the title, a surprise finale, a sort of reminder of the fragility of the universe.

So a comic piece? A free piece, as free as it can be.
