Creation 2025
I compensate my parents for this spectacle.
It is the double story of a curse and a metamorphosis. That of a CL!@/$#%wn who refuse to be, cursed at birth, equipped with a dorsal parasympathetic system which renders him immobile at the slightest frustration or danger. A bit like oppossums but with clenched fists and rage in their stomachs.
Traumatized, keen on psychology and aquariums, asthmatic, redhead, half-man, half-rag, nevertheless he resists.
We always say: “look for your clown” but it is he who finds us.
So one stormy evening, this time, at the corner of a dead end, the CREATURE will tear the costume.
Direct analogy with DR Jekyll and Mr Hyde or even Dr Banner and Hulk with a touch of Frankenstein, this show aims to be a burlesque, funny, cruel and compassionate representation of the metaphor of the private and the public and the duality of To be human.
Because a CL!@/$#%wn is not your inner child. This is the immature, immaculate prefrontal cortex of childhood. A pot of milk on the stove without a lid and no one to watch.
“I will scream in your cushions” is the chronicle of this metamorphosis, the journey of a character who tries to escape his flaws by clinging to what he thinks is “normal”. A progressive slide towards an absurd universe in which we get rid of our fears, where what we flee becomes what magnifies us and where we celebrate our singularity and the richness of stepping aside.
A show on horseback, between circus and stand-up, which shatters the fourth wall and gives pride of place to improvisation and whim.
Show for theaters.
