1 - Four protagonists who successively and with nonchalant and insolent simplicity perform short actions that remind us as much of the esthetics of cabaret sketches as of the one-minute-scenarios by Robert Filliou.
2 - A stage, a frontal space deprived of all complexity in its composition, announcing a will to avoid the spectacular yet fitting into a place made to accomodate just that.
3 - An audience, as close as possible to the stage, regularly questionned by the actors in a game of complicity which at times approaches indecency.
The piece is an ever evolving score, a work that is perpetually reconsidering itself, coming from experiences that are shared but not controlled by anyone.
The playlets are presented one after the other without any ressemblance between them, they are not based on a narrative framework and have no dramatic intention. The actors alternatively join in and come together to take new and different directions, as endless possible entries into a piece in constant evolution.
For each performance, the project takes the context into account and refuses a mere repetition that would likely weaken the energy of the experimentation. The points of entry are renewed, the questions are reactivated, the form is recomposed. By means of a proliferation of signs, images, words and fictions, put together according to a system of mobility and equivalence, the artists question through their acts the traditional codes of representation and that which is implicit in a composition.
