Little Queen Creation 2024
SPECTACLE
Duration 30 min – all ages 10 and up
Little Queen, a gritty, clownish satire on the clutches of love, stars Edith, a luminous character who innocently recounts her own downfall.
“Following on from The Black Beast, a solo on stage created in 2017, a performance based around contortion and the spine that evokes the inner struggles of a woman marked by her career path, I want to create a second part of a triptych of portraits of circus women.
This piece will combine acrobatic performance on a bicycle and text in an offbeat, zany tone. This portrait will feature Fleuriane Cornet, a graduate of the CNAC in 2020, with whom I hope to continue the work of transmission/insertion begun during the creation of Cycle de l’Absurde by staging the students of the 32nd promotion.”
