On crossroads between a documentary and a dream world, Corps extremes (Extreme Bodies) unfolds boundless practices - sportive or artistic - in a sophisticated hybrid stage setting, highlighting the utter sensitivity depicted by those involved.
Gifted for lightness, often circling, this extraordinary community of freedom lovers – of which the members incarnate in different ways the Icarus dream in today’s world – evolve between the sky and the earth; an impressive climbing wall at the back of the stage as a main press hold. A long rope crosses high above, the stage sometimes transforms into a huge screen, on which images are projected of magnificent natural landscapes – great vertigo – with Nathan Paulin and Nina Caprez in action.
The voice-overs of these exceptional athletes also play a part, just like the voiceover of the flyer Airelle Caen; all of them providing personal accounts of their practice. Sometimes airy, then stirring, the musical score of Jean-Baptiste Julien increases the reliefs of this gathering, with several subtly suggested strata.
Rather than giving in to the facile attraction of virtuosity, the piece endeavours to give rise to an existential - even metaphysical - dimension, flirting with the void. Simultaneously anchored in reality as well as heading for a dream world, both intimate and bigger than life, the performance sheds an artistic lighting on a far from the ordinary human experience.
