Compagnie Mossoux-Bonté (BE)
Ophelia-s
Since Shakespeare’s time, Ophelia has been portrayed as a confined symbol, trapped between her flawless youth, her romantic insanity, and a detached surrender to existence.
Are all women potential Ophelias, compelled to combine weakness and beauty in order to find their place in the world, to make themselves desirable and thus to exist?
Four drowned women, taken from their own deaths and lying on the shore, seem to awaken. Gathered around a black body of water from which projected images seem to emerge, they try to reconstruct the alleged suicide of Hamlet’s fiancée. But it is their own faces that they see in the water, each embodying in turn, and sometimes to the point of pleonasm, the images of the feminine that float in our subconscious. And when they fall into the trap of the Pre-Raphaelite paintings that sublimate the bound woman, it is only to emerge together, alive and united.
At the intersection between dance, theatre, images and animated forms, the productions by Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonté explore the murky zones of our sensibility and the contradictions that betray the complexity behind our actions and behaviour.
The Compagnie Mossoux-Bonté is celebrating its 40th anniversary on stage with two productions. In Erlangen, they present their re-staged classic “The Latest Hallucinations of Lucas Cranach the Elder”.
The production is presented with audio description from EveryBody Access for blind and visually impaired persons.
