Couple-Like #2
Op maandag 21 maart om 13.30 uur speelt de nieuwe versie van de voorstelling Couple-Like #2 op het Tweetaktfestival te Utrecht. In deze voorstelling van Keren Levi en Ugo Dehaes gaan twee jonge dansers met elkaar een intieme strijd aan. Vasthouden of loslaten, steunen of laten vallen; is het nu een liefdevolle, lange omhelzing of een eindeloze, uitputtende worsteling? De twee proberen elkaar steeds opnieuw te ontmoeten, maar hun fysieke samenzijn leidt letterlijk tot beklemming. In Nederland is Couple-Like #2 ook nog te zien tijdens Dance Smash; in Houten op 7 april en in Amersfoort op 13 april. Daarnaast speelt de voorstelling op internationale jeugddansfestivals in Wenen, Zürich, Hasselt en Gent.

on march 10th couple-like#2 will be presented for the first time in belgium, during the krokusfestival in hasselt

LA FORÊT, Vert Presque Vert
Lundi 3 et mardi 4 novembre 20h30
La Forêt - Vert Presque Vert
de Stéphane Arcas
Mise en scène de Stéphane Arcas
Avec Ugo Dehaes, Guylène Olivares, Cécile Chèvre
Musique live Fabrice Césario
Lumière et scénographie Raphaël Rubbens
Il s'agit d'un couple (A et B) qui est perdu dans une forêt. Ils tournent en rond. Ils traversent des épreuves et se retrouvent dans des situations traditionnelles de l'imaginaire lié à la forêt (univers des contes, des films d'horreur, de l'histoire de l'art, de la psychanalyse, etc...) Une troisième personne (C) est présente. Elle apparaît ponctuellement, de manière onirique, comme la narratrice de leur aventures, porteuse d'une parole analytique.
A est en proie au doute et se demande si cette forêt est réelle, est-ce une image virtuelle faite sur Photoshop, les sons que l'on entend ne sont ils pas préenregistrés, ou bien encore ne seraient-ils pas dans une sorte de « purgatoire » ?
B est en proie à des cauchemars morbides qui lui font redouter le moment de s'endormir. Elle semble, d'ailleurs, plus intéressée par sa situation dans ses rêves que par le fait de sortir réellement de la forêt.
C, elle, est une artiste, tour à tour, elle nous raconte des histoires, nous parle de son oeuvre et tente de créer des ponts entre l'art et la vie.
Au fur et à mesure, des éléments nous sont donnés sur ce qui s'est peut-être passé entre deux scènes. S'agit-il de rêves, de cauchemars, de scénarii de film, de légendes, on ne sait pas vraiment et la vérité reste cantonnée dans le non-dit.
