Description

Actapalabra means "acting with words". On stage, two clowns, without ever using words, talk about the mechanization of our lives.<p> Two Beckettian clowns and a technician make full use of the theatrical machinery! Brothers in the theatre, passionate about working on the body and its comic mechanisms, Philippe Gouin and Joan Mompart draw on their memories of Beckett to embody two clowns from another time.<br><br> In a world without words, they search for each other, sense each other, delve into the silence to write the poem of everyday human existence. Their choreography, fluid and meticulously precise, is also that of the machinery: special effects, smoke, apparitions... in chorus or in canon, the two artists unfold a farandole of funny and hypnotic situations.</p>
