The piece takes as its starting point the oldest known representation of juggling, three jugglers with three balls, a fresco from 4000 years ago, in a tomb in Egypt.
Between documentary and intimate story, the author recounts a trouble with this image, the beginning of a process of associations of forms, representations, superimpositions of eras and cultures, from the jugglers of Antiquity to those of today, passing through The Three Graces by Raphaël (and other more or less famous figures).
In a hybrid score of juggling and dancing, three women make them appear on stage, in flesh and blood.
Elsa Guerin
Passionate about painting, visual arts, music, especially progressive and repetitive, ancient and contemporary, cinema, theater, dance, but also human sciences and philosophy, Elsa Guérin is nevertheless a juggler and works in a broader vision. juggling.
Between hypnotic movements, funny or tragic games, his projects explore the choreographic and dramatic potential of juggling and the physical act, combine abstraction and metaphor of the human drama, and seek a contemporary writing for the circus at the edge of other arts.
She studied at the Beaux-Arts in Clermont-Ferrand before training in juggling with Nadejda Aschvits, Maksim Komaro, Martin Schwietzke… and especially Jérôme Thomas. During her childhood, she practiced classical and jazz dance, and later, contemporary dance, in particular with Hervé Diasnas.
She was associated artist-author until the end of 2018 at the Sirque PNC of Nexon Nouvelle-Aquitaine, also executive producer of her projects.
In October 2019, she founded Studio Phantôm to produce her artistic projects.
