Designed by Juliette Hulot, Nicolas Mathis and Neta Oren, Ornements is a series of variations designed around keyboard compositions by Bach and Scarlatti, produced in an open space, with just three chairs.

With the complicity of Rémi Leclerc

In a dialogue with drummer Pierre Pollet, a true metaphor for the circus orchestra, juggler Julien Clément fills the stage with his vibrant presence while surrounded by the audience.
A setting where energy and listening prevail, in which the performers play on the uniqueness of their practices in a piece which goes to the very essence of their art, to be seen and heard.

Fragments

Creation october 2018 at the Théâtre du Vellein

Creation and performance : Rémi Darbois
Stage manager : Thibault Thelleire
Scenography : Thibault Thelleire et Olivier Filipucci
Musical arrangements : Denis Fargeton
With the complicity of Julien Clément, Yann Frisch, Nicolas Mathis, Pierre Pollet

Throughout his practice and his numerous artistic encounters, Rémi Darbois has developed a multi-faceted juggling style which is steeped in burlesque theatricality.
In Fragments, he uses a simple door as a scenic device to structure the timing of the performance. Denis Fargeton is the perfect foil to his cues, articulating and dismantling Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin.

Dehors

Running time 17 minutes
Creation october 2018 at the Théâtre du Vellein

Creation and performance : Juliette Hulot (juggling) and Emmanuelle Legros (trumpet)
Costumes : Emmanuelle Grobet
With the complicity of Mary Chebbah and Juliette Clément

A curiously distinctive artistic substance emerges from this meeting between juggler Juliette Hulot and trumpeter Emmanuelle Legros.
The body and the space are sculpted by the “sound-matter” of the trumpet and the balls appear to be moved by the music, keeping step, and drawing shapes which are fluid and graceful or mechanical and fitful. Two performers in a truly surprising dialogue.
