ENGLISH VERSION - EN VRAC
2020-2021 artistic creation by the Cie LARGADE
THE COMPANY
The LARGADE company is a cultural association which aims to promote and develop exchanges, creations, activities, around performing arts and multicultural encounters.
The company develops particularly contemporary, experimental and performative art projects by being open to exchanges and artistic and cultural encounters. The creation of live performances, in all its forms and particularly choreographic, is a main axis.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project is intended to be a mirror of the globalized world and the capitalist system, a pictorial, sound and dance narrative that reflects the vision of young artists with diverse and complementary backgrounds that we are. “EN VRAC” is a contemporary piece inspired by the capital sins of today’s society. Far from criticism, satire or taking a stand, this artistic initiative is nevertheless artistically committed by carrying strong messages under the cover of an abstract universe. Three characters, the creator, the creature and the destroyer, will interpret this contemporary narrative, divided into scenes which will pace the narration. Sound and lighting universes are indispensable elements. Multiform, this artistic creation will bring together two contemporary dancers/ choreographers, a director/ visual artist, live music, and a technical team.
ARTISTIC RESEARCH
We were inspired by Umberto Galimberti’s research on the capital vices of today’s society, in order to bring out the critical points of our contemporary society. To question our culture, to determine the current problems of our society, which hinder it, such as the absence of the idea of the future, conformism, nihilism, the apocalypse, the disconnection between body and mind, the approval of the established order, obedience, globalization, etc. While the fears of the old deadly sins were individual, the current deadly sins no longer destabilize us as individuals, but as a society, which promises us a “common hell”, a human or ecological war.
ARTISTIC UNIVERSE
The aesthetic universe we want to create on stage is an empty space and at the same time harrowing , a space where light alternates with scenes of shadow, penumbra and neon, a space over-lit and mysterious at the same time. The aim is to bring out characters who play between archetypal figures and fiction, on the double, through syncopated gestures, video projections and stage objects.
The element of the mask is for us a fundamental scenic object; it confronts society, complex and multiform, which hides behind emblematic masks made of gestures and attitudes.
A power relationship between simple masks and complex masks, but always masks. They cover and reveal the real. The narration also deconstructs the fourth wall throughout the piece.
We want to make the viewer wonder:
What is going on?
Who the hell are they?
What is real about it?
What the hell happened?
ACT 1
First scene
Light against the shadow
Little by little, the voice of the creator goes out and the light comes and tries to take place in the twilight. It imposes itself in an impetuous, swift, fiery way. It emerges victorious. The scenic space, bright, is still occupied by the creator, and a masked monster appears.
Second scene
Disposal
The monster arrives, with jerky, decomposed, bulky movements. Like an elephant in a porcelain or a horse to tame. It does not fit into codes, standards. The creator will train it, tame it, educate it so that it fits into the mould. The dance will be animal, authoritarian, every part of the creature’s body will be stretched, broken. The limbs will be removed for re-shaping. This set is the symbol of the transformation, the resilience, the violence with which the creature is indoctrinated and forced to resemble the will of the creator.
Third scene
Education
The creator tames his creature, which assimilates the new movements. It is educated, conditioned. The creator is withdrawing.
Fourth scene
Resilience
The creature is alone, in the center of the stage, in the center of attention, like a fair beast. It shows all its new beings become conformed. The light is centered on it. It dances, gracefully, precisely, preciously, with rigid, classical movements. The voice went out, there’s silence on the set. The feeling of solitude, of emptiness, in which the creature is found is palpable and unsustainable. The creator who is in the background of the scene, speaks in the void, fills this void with his voice, totally inadequate with the gestures of his creature.
Interlude
The red rats
Red rats - men dressed in red - similar to tennis ball-pickers, will cross the stage to offer the spectator a diversion. They are the comics, the bearers of hope, the outcasts, the invisible of our society. They pick up objects and the creature.
ACT 2
First scene
The chaos
In the dark plateau, the voice continues, and begins to follow the sound that has just appeared. Voices are added, arriving from everywhere, superimposed on the music. The effects will gradually merge with the voice, making it progressively useless, until it disappears. It is chaos. Chaos, reinforced by light, in the form of flashes. It is the backlight, the contrary lights. The sound becomes more and more present, until it is the only element on stage. The creator disappears. The light sizzles, is stressful, uncertain. And turns into blinding neon.
Second scene
Neon and noise. Music. Sound and light performance.

ACT 3
First scene
Real versus virtual.
Two bodies on stage and a video projection in the background, perfectly synchronized with the reality, the movements of the bodies. We see details of the parts of the body that make visible the micro-movements of the dancers. The gestures are organic and grow in space.
Second scene
The bug of reality.
We begin to perceive slight discrepancies between reality and video. What is true, the projection or the scene? Fiction seems more real than the reality of the scene. Who to believe? What to believe? It’s the bodies that get the attention, and this organic reality that seems to be bugging.
Third scene
The bug of fiction.
The fiction also begins to bugg with the bodies. Here begins a series of zapping between several realities, bodies are deformed, subliminal images appear. The truth is found elsewhere. This distance between truth and fiction is reinforced by the sound and light that video projects. Everything disappears, music and sound remain.
GRAND FINAL
Armoire
This last painting is symbolic. There is a shower of light in the centre of the scene as in the first scene. A cupboard enters under the light. A large, imposing character, the destroyer, advances in the darkness towards this cupboard. It is a new duel between light and darkness. The destroyer holds a club in his hand. He faces the cupboard. In an energy of anger and violence, he destroys it. In his gestures, in the noise of the roar, all vengeance resurfaces towards oppression, domination, humiliation. The subtle violence present throughout the play is heavy, accumulates in the public, society, and materializes by the arrival of a complicit public, which, to restore order, the norm, society, will use this same violence.
