High Bed Lower Castle (2022)

True to its title, High Bed Lower Castle inverts perspectives. It’s a true false tale of giant beds and tiny castles that mixes archetypal characters, dances in varying registers, spoken words and songs, visibly invisible actions—in short, a work of infinite imagination. Welcome to this bountiful world. Leave your expectations behind. Project yourself into it!

Fidèle à son titre, High Bed Lower Castle inverse les perspectives. Un vrai faux conte de grands lits et de petits châteaux où s’entremêlent personnages archétypaux, danses aux registres variés, verbe, chant et actions visiblement invisibles, un imaginaire infini en somme. Bienvenue dans ce monde généreux. Évacuez vos attentes. Visez les projections!
