MICHÈLE ANNE DE MEY & JACO VAN DORMAEL
a collective creation with Grégory Grosjean, Thomas Gunzig, Julien Lambert, Sylvie Olivé, Nicolas Olivier
A product of the imagination of Michèle Anne De Mey and Jaco Van Dormael, this show has been in a continual state of grace for three years. It is a world that evidently has universal significance given that it is still playing to packed theatres after over two hundred dates worldwide. Its basic premise is the memory we have of people who made us and who have left us. The subject is dealt with in a revolutionary way. That is to say a film is shot and projected simultaneously in the space and time of the theatre, based on the creation in vivo of a nanoworld in which simple prehensile endings become characters dancing amid miniature landscapes. That said, nothing has been revealed.
