Monographie

When gravity goes awry, objects run wild. On stage, an obsessive character tirelessly practises the same movements, as if trying to master the unpredictable.

In this black and white universe inspired by cartoons, Guillaume Martinet creates a burlesque and virtuoso juggling solo where each object seems to have a will of its own. Balls, hoops and capricious mechanisms become partners in a wordless game, precisely orchestrated.

The laws of gravity bend to an absurd logic, made of improbable falls, impossible suspensions and unexpected bounces. The body transforms into a surprise machine, oscillating between extreme control and joyful derailment.

Carried by a highly visual narrative, Monographie unfolds an irresistible physical humour, fuelled by precise gestures and a taste for the unconventional. An absurd and explosive show, as funny as it is formidably controlled.
