« The Funambule » Theatre 14 Paris

Last April I was able to raise twice at the end of my Aerial Straps on the voice of Yuming HEY during his reading of Jean Genet's beautiful text « The Funambule ».

This event took place in the town hall of the 14th arrondissement of Paris for the Festival «Regeneration» organized by the Théâtre 14. A piece spaced by Mathieu TOUZEOn Rebecca MEYER's music.

50 minutes when I could steal, dream, turn, freeze, pray, risk on Genet's poetry, life at the end of the line. « This leads us to say that we must love Cirque and despise the world ».

Thanks. Selwan For holding on to your arm.

Below is a text of CAMILLE EL INACHEED following his arrival during a performance (source: Press Ivressecran)

« BETTER THAN A SILENCE THAT WOULD BE LEVELED... On the mortal challenge, where the invisible wound would disappear. Indelible. Inflame the fragility of a balance on the performance of Jean Genet's Funambule. A burning incident of excitement, with a nice look in the end where Yuming Hey and Quentin Signori stand. On the line away from fear, this territory is sheltered from this unstable anchoring of the waiting bodies. The act of writing blows and holes this silence. In this arena of quantum undulation. The sacred insolence dengue of immobility to the adornment of a floating horizon, dazzling and breaking. Genet's work focuses on the singularity of a birth between the simulacre and this eclipse of beauty for a single gesture defying power. So murmured love, so reverence of power, so secretly live. Without this splendor, proceed the wound of being the hero of this scratch and balance. A rapprochement, a distance, a feeling of loneliness, experienced by one and the other of a penchant for a passion to remain in peril the bliss and luxury of death. Infiltrates the overflight of Jean Genet's words from where one remembers this Captive remained Lovers who glided around the light of prisons, walls. Murmurs cross the armor of a memory where the hours of this light in Greece. The fragmentation of this freedom so cleverly mixed on his lips was slipping away. »
