An aesthetically and politically provocative show, with prodigious manipulation, hilarious, poetic and daring, which is an ode to freedom and love, and is one of the great highlights of FIMFA Lx Yann Verburgh completely rewrote the work, based on the original structure: intertwined stories of intimate encounters.
The hyper-realistic puppets are manipulated on sight by a team of young actors, who end up becoming a single living entity with their latex puppets. The diversity of bodies aims to reflect the plurality of beings and lives, brought together in this mosaic of powerful and moving stories. The choral and cinematic staging allows us to move from one encounter to the next, revealing what unites us in our differences: love, quite simply.
Johanny Bert continues to explore sexual identities in a series of romantic encounters that leave the field open to all possibilities: bisexuality, polyamory, asexuality, transgender love⦠In this waltz of love, couples make and break each other between characters in this La Nouvelle Ronde of different ages, women, men or non-binary.
BIO Johanny Bert is an actor, puppeteer and director. Throughout his artistic career he developed a unique theatrical language: the confrontation between the actor, the object and the puppet form. Each creation is a new research, based on contemporary texts commissions, unpublished texts or repertoire texts or from a plastic universe built as a team on stage. He enjoys working with performers from different disciplines actors, dancers, singers, musicians, etc.
Certain dramaturgies guide him towards a dialogue between the human and the inanimate, as in the arts of puppetry, but he does not want to be limited to one category: theater for young people, visual theater, puppet theater⦠and he creates by intuition, with a form of insolent freedom, guided by a goal. In October , he staged Les Sea Girls au pouvoir , a unique feminist musical show.
