Eclipse

Show & Culture

A chair, a suspended lamp, the string of a switch, a speaker playing tango, a glass of water, and a candle. Every object is in its place. Under a single light source, the image is absolutely minimal, like in a black and white film. In this very carefully arranged setting, a very meticulous character evolves. Everything keeps slipping away a little. The lights go out for a moment. He juggles with the ball given to him by darkness, unaware that the shadows will soon take it back. Reality quickly becomes more and more absurd as rhythms, shadows and lights play tricks on the audience. A dazzling solo juggling act! "The audience loses their bearings, fascinated by this precise mechanism. Sometimes laughing out loud, because it's so funny. And then impressed, astonished." — Objectif Gard, 07.11.25 Show co-hosted with Marionettefestival, Tadler (LU).
