Quando l'uomo principale e una donna (2004)

Country of Origin: Belgium
Original project format: colour
language: French
dance theatre

Summary:The dancer moves beneath a sky full of bottles, from which olive oil first drips then gushes and splashes and finally transforms the whole stage into a reflecting bath. The oil evokes a great many connotations: medical, cosmetic, Christian. The olive tree as Mother Earth, old and indestructible, a balm to the world. But there is ambiguity here too: its fruits were once used as a contraceptive. The strength of this solo lies in its constant shifts: from man to woman, from human to animal, from straight line to circle, from rolling, sliding movements to rising slowly upright, like a tree that grows more and more branches, like a swan that has fertilised itself.The dancer herself also alternates ritualistic transformations with a juggler's and conjuror's tricks. Humming all the time, she plays with her gender, with balls in her trousers, on her chest or in her mouth. Before you know it an hermaphrodite becomes a sexless angel.
