INDOOR SHOW
CREATION JULY è, çùâç AT FESTIVAL MONTPELLIER DANSE
RERUN ON OCTOBER ê, çùçâ AT THÉÂTRE DE LA CITÉ Ö TOULOUSE
Mazùt is a piece that represents a turning point in the company’s research trajectory; it allowed Baro d’evel to continue opening up its languages. It was the starting point for the creations that followed, Bestias and the diptych Là, sur la falaise.
Paradoxically, this piece has been little seen, which is why we wish to bring it back on tour.
Mazùt was born from the duet of Blaï Mateu Trias and Camille Decourtye on stage, but the solidity of the piece allows the company to consider a first experience of transmitting a repertoire with the performers Valentina Cortese and Julien Cassier.
Two beings in search of their inner self
because humanity overcomes them
because they have lost their instinct
because the world goes too fast,
too many words, too many letters.
They want to find their first sensations
preparing, seeking in the ins and outs of daily life
the doors open towards the beginning of all
before the standing men,
before the thinking men,
be no more than four legs
breath, blow, breathe,
find the first breath
the starting point
be a being who breathes
and looks at the world.
Welcome to the sensorial world of Mazùt.
To assist to the last creation of Baro d’evel is not merely to be there, it is also to enjoy how feelings can turn into emotions in a few milliseconds. Mazùt is simplicity in the end result, with a gastronomic subtlety.
Artes escénicas, December 14, 2012 - Rosa Colell
Baro d’evel, 2 acrobats of the absurd.
Baro d’evel’s personal touch is about the light and the fragile. It lies in its way of allowing time and situations to happen so that they generate their own unfolding. (…) the Baro d’evels cherish the poetry of the material.
Le Monde, July, 19 2014 - Rosita Boisseau
What if we revealed the animal hiding in each of us? Baro d’evel gives it a try, in a disarming, perfectly executed show.
The Baro d’evel couple, one of the most promising current circus companies, has evidently worked hard to refine this neat show summoning all arts forms.
Télérama, September, 19 2012 - Emmanuelle Bouchez
Of infallible fragility.
This story that can be told, and even known. But it is here offered by artists at soul. They dare the ephemeral, subject to great mastery, bringing back the magic of shared moments to the stage and the show.
