Description

Raphaëlle Boitel, Compagnie L'Oublié(e)<div> There are works that transcend time and retain their timeless power. The Fall of the Angels is certainly one of them. Created nearly ten years ago, this visual fable by Raphaëlle Boitel continues to fascinate young and old alike with its dreamlike and captivating world. What would become of our world if even angels could no longer fly? By imagining this unsettling future, the director illuminates our present. In an inhabited twilight, an almost unreal light emerges and reveals suspended bodies, engaged in an ethereal and intensely powerful narrative.</div><div><br></div><div> Figures teetering on the edge, silhouettes yearning for elevation, shaggy coats hanging from the rafters, angels fallen from the sky: each teeters between fall and aspiration. The subtly tragicomic tone unfolds within a singular cinematic aesthetic. Between shadow and poetry, a fragile humanity attempts to break free from a constrained world. Circus, dance, and theater intertwine with remarkable mastery.</div>
