Histoire de l'imposture

Everything is navigated under false pavilions, as Kafka said, and the "characters" in the performance are the first to testify to this…   By ironizing a perfect adaptation of the artifice of social postures, the role-play and conformist norms that shape and lead us (today perhaps more than ever) into borrowed personalities. Time hasn’t changed the situation, meaning the whole story is recyclable in our world of appearances and formatted truths.

The performance also evokes the feeling of not being one with one’s intentions and desires, of not embodying one’s own self, of feeling constantly partitioned and pretending to live while not being in one’s right place and of being finally, an imposter…

How to escape such a problematic?  How to break out of a resemblance, out of what’s false or what is approximative, of what’s borrowed and ambiguous?  Perhaps by letting oneself be possessed and carried away by the kind of savage energy that liberates the "characters" from that which is nothing more than a human comedy – and which overflows from them:  outside and beyond themselves, their doubts and their small impostures without history…

Bonté, Patrick

After his studies in philosophy, humanities and dramatic interpretation, Patrick Bonté wrote many texts for theatre and cinema and directed numerous theatrical productions in Brussels, Antwerp and Quebec. His desire to explore themes related to the enigma of presence through the theatre has led him to explore the  invention  of  languages,  avoiding  textual  narration,  realism  and  psychology.  With  Nicole  Mossoux, whom he met in 1985, he shares the desire to “create images for the stage that have a particular sense, in which tension reigns, a tension tied to the contradictions that nourish it, and yet do not presume to bear a definite truth”. He is also artistic director of Les Brigittines (City of Brussels Contemporary Art Centre for Movement).

Mossoux, Nicole

Nicole Mossoux is a Belgian dancer and choreographer born in Brussels on 3 January 1956.

After studying at the Mudra school of Maurice Béjart, she created several solo pieces in 1978, became interested in psychoanalysis. And then, after meeting the playwright and director Patrick Bonté, she created the first choreography of a long, common and shared series, Juste Ciel (December 10, 1985), presented at the Plan K Refinery, directed By Frédéric Flamand.

A few years later, the two artists founded the Company Mossoux-Bonté, which never ceased to melt dance and theater in a single language, exploring the troubled areas of sensibility and the unconscious, in a strange familiarity to meet the spectator's imagination.
