Nicole Rechain/Françoise Gerbaulet - performer "Passe sans Bruit"
|
Passe sans bruit - Passing without a sound
PREMIERE JULY 2004
Art is labour, a long ripening, I try to progress with the seriousness of a child at play.
Through the haïkus of "Time" written by Françoise Gerbaulet I imagined a subtle and poetic journey, made of rythmic tics and tocs, of light, of painting, of music, of silence and of words, to live with babies a fraction of time.
In bringing poetic texts to the stage, ones odds are placed on the language, this language which lives within us even before we are able to speak.
I experiance this as a gift which I am entrusted with and able to present to each young mind.
They receive and transmit the gift to their respective accompanying adults.
In 2005, we pursued this poetic adventure by producing a CD/book which reunites haïkus of Françoise.Gerbaulet: "Graines d'Etoiles" and
"Passe sans bruit" *.
Following meetings with Glitterbird in Budapest, a new creation is forseen based upon the CD with Hanna Brotherus, dancer and director from Finland.
"Short poems for little people"

written by Françoise Gerbaulet
Play and direction: Nicole Rechain
Scenography: Daniel Landréau.
created in 2004 at the Festival of Avignon by the Company Point du jour

Amalys - "PETITES ILLUMINATIONS"
|
|
Petites Illuminations
(For children and people accompanying them from 8 months)
No narrative story, just a clue fitted to the roving mind of the baby, gleaning here some colours and sounds suited to put in tune his own body rocked for a long time, and there delighting himself with words, and then discovering with humour and laughing these persons looking over his cradle or else being stunned by the perfumes of the hair where his head hides when he feels carried away, taking off and ravished
Seven sequences like several opera opening airs, in introduction and homage to the vast expanse of life.
Seven instants mixing life of the child and creation of the world.
Seven short stories where a tiny event may become magical and unutterable.
Seven moments to start embracing the great theatre of life.
Multimedia creation with music, objects, automatons, images and texts.
Direction and ideation: Claude Moreau
Music: Michel Risse
Scenes and images: Michel Lagarde
Lighting: Jacques Rouveyrollis
Artistic collaboration: Anne-Françoise Cabanis

Piero Fenati (Fr/It) - "Wunderkammer"
|
|
Sensorial and sonorous exhibition composed with five different art installations, five rooms that draw an emotional path in order to discover the origins and the substance (material) of the sound. We get through several installations and sounding machines: microcosms that tell and listen to stories; malleable and flexible sounding environment which reacts to original and direct individual acting. Each room has its own sounding and aesthetic value and therefore may be presented individually inside the kindergarten or the nursery school.

FINNISH PROJECTS
Organizer: Sanna Karlsson-Sutisna

Vesa-Petteri Asikainen - "The Wise Man"
|
|
It is a colourful, cheerful and peaceful performance designed for very young children. The aesthetic milieu with its paintings, sculptures and sounds provides a setting for a performance without words and warm, shared intimacy between a child and an accompanying adult.
The creation is inspired by “Star Sky Temple”, which was performed in the Children Theatre Festival in Helsinki 2005. “The Journey of the Wise man” has developed to a more story based performance, which can be varied to fit to different circumstances, from bigger stages to small kinder gardens. The director and scriptwriter is the main actor (the Wise Man), Vesa-Petteri Asikainen, who has been working over twenty years with and for children. He is also the director of the theatre PerformanceSirkus. Sanna Karlsson-Sutisna’s paintings and sculpture and Keanne van de Kreeke’s Memory Eggs create the surrounding, the installation, in which the story takes place. This cross art performance contains elements from old Finnish traditions, which can especially be heard in the vocal sounds of the singer Riitta Leivo. At the end of the performance the children can go into the world of the wise Man. They are allowed to come and play with the items of the performance.
There is also a separate installation enclosed the performance.

Zoltán Bodnár - "TODA"
|
|
TODA (which means miracle in children’s language)
One of the primary-modern tendency of puppetry, known from children’s room, revives in this play. Klaudia Orosz’s colourful soft elements reminding us of building bricks come together and apart, form new and new shapes and the intensive acting brings the many well-known shapes alive during the transformations. The happening becomes more exciting with Hungarian folk song melodies and improvised accompaniment.

Uppercut Dancetheatre - "Shall we dance?"
|
|
A young girl is quietly playing with her toys in the space in front of a colourful patchwork background. Her toys resemble oversized, geometric pillows in many different shapes and forms. All is quiet. Soon another girl enters her space and a need for communication quickly arises !The different geometric pillows lend themselves to exploration and games. They create a bridge between the dancer’s abstract dance and their concrete play. Ideas rise – and fall. Through fantasy, laughter, teasing and small conflicts, a friendship begins to grow.
