Les Nouveaux Ballets du Nord-Pas-de-Calais
Physical Theatre / Grand Plateau

In a scenographic space that is being redesigned in real time, this performance showcases an unusual material: adhesive tape.

The three members of a feminist rock group are building a new participatory habitat on the stage of their exile.

They unroll and follow the tape, tracing graphic lines and drawing spaces in the middle of a circular device.

Unpredictable and random, the sticky tape invades even the performers' bodies, revealing an invisible web of relationships. They create huts out of thin air, playing with their physicality. Their collaborative sisterhood guides the audience towards a questioning of the notions of shelter, metamorphosis and sharing.

About the Artists

Created in 2016, in Lille, the Nouveaux Ballets du Nord-Pas-de-Calais call themselves that in the manner of a DADA smoke and mirrors. They produce shows by the artist Amélie Poirier. Her work is multi-disciplinary, with shows for teenagers and adults rubbing shoulders with shows for young audiences and, more recently, public spaces.

It is above all the dramaturgical sense that shapes the contours of the different shows. The body/object relationship is at the heart of the company's creative approach.
