The Forgotten creation 2014
SHOW
Duration 1 h – all public from 8 years old

The years go by.
One day, she decides to go looking for him.
Her perilous quest then becomes an initiatory course,
in which reality is gradually contaminated by the fantastic.
The Forgotten , the Company’s eponymous show,
was the first major form conceived by Raphaëlle Boitel.
This ambitious tale plunges us into a dreamlike and phantasmagorical universe in which questions of mourning,
of surpassing oneself, of filial ties or crossed destinies are evoked.
In this particularly physical theatre of images,
the fundamentals of the universe developed since then by Raphaëlle Boitel are established:

deployed on the ground and in the air.
WithThe Forgotten, time becomes blurred, the imaginary emerges…
emotions in motion in an exploration of the intimate…

TEASER
PRESS
“Vertiginous! Like a well of images, this magical abyss is as spectacular as intimate. Raphaëlle Boitel brings to light our deepest and most repressed dreams with great dexterity.” Thomas Hahn
Artistikrezo
“On a thread stretching between fantasy and memory, R. Boitel leads us into a dreamlike course tainted in enchanting beauty.” Delphine Kilhoffer
rhinoceros.com
“A touch of Lynch here, a scent of ancient Kate Bush’s gothic romantism there, Raphaëlle Boitel and her crew have spreaded on La Vilette an epic blow, with superb and imaginative instants, creating “a sort of intimate memory in ruins” clear of any paradox, that one will carry durably in mind .” Gilles Renault
Libération
“The physical prowess is extraordinary. They arouse a communicative desire to fly, to run, to push oneself out of breath.”Ariane Bavelier
