AME LAME

Dès leur conception, certaines personnes possèdent une seconde âme, issue ou de la terre, ou de la mer ou du ciel. Mais bien qu’elle soit rattachée à la première cellule de leur corps, elle ne survit pas à la douleur de la mise au monde. Ces personnes grandissent alors avec un vide intérieur qu’elles vont tenter de combler durant toute leur vie, en recherchant leur seconde âme là d’où elle provient : la terre, la mer ou le ciel.
Le personnage de ce spectacle est une femme qui rêve de vivre parmi les oiseaux et ainsi, se rapprocher du ciel. Je traduis sa recherche par un jeu de mouvements et une manipulation de la marionnette qui créent l’illusion que je me fonds dans le corps de celle-ci.
