Tancarville

Le G.Bistaki

60 mins / For all / Saison culturelle / Résidence

Representation(s)

As part of the Tulip Festival.

Using an object as common as the white sheet, enveloping bodies and stage space in an interweaving of poetic and soberly ordinary scenes, Tancarville plays out a timeless fresco in which the absurd leads to humor.

Alternately worn, beaten, washed, stretched, folded, the sheet is transformed by manipulation into a carnal envelope, a costume, a headdress, an accessory, an opera set; it becomes rhythm, breath, a working or juggling instrument. A personal, yet universal object, the sheet here bears witness to our collective memory and intimate rituals, in a dreamlike journey through civilizations and time.

The G. Bistaki

Born from the meeting of 5 jugglers and dancers, Le G. Bistaki came together in 2006 to shake up the artistic and scenic daily lives of its members by innovating in the way they search for and perform. Defining itself as a Cirque Chorégraphique d’Investigation, it develops creations at the crossroads of theater, juggling and dance, in which objects, often in large numbers, dress up space and transform bodies.

Conceived for public spaces, whether rural or urban, his creations blossom in close connection with the spatial and social characteristics of a place. Taking the time necessary to invest it, Le G. Bistaki overflows the dreamlike dimension of the stage and opens up the playing field, dressing up the landscape with plastic installations in fixed or ambulatory forms.

Alongside its collective creations, Le G. Bistaki supports and develops singular projects that are close to the territories and their actors, with extended temporalities. These “artistic extensions” tend to address the cross-cutting notions of research, mediation and training through the circus and, more generally, art in the public space.

Tancarville is his fourth collective creation.
