For the first creation by her company Carmen Chan, Mathilde Invernon pulls no punches!

The young Franco-Spanish actor and dancer, who already has ample experience under her belt, ventures into an explosive duet with Arianna Camilli: a graduate of the Haute École des Arts de la Scène in Lausanne, where she lives, she has worked with Pascal Rambert, Delphine Lehericey, Léa Fazer and La Ribot, with whom she dances and sometimes writes (Laughing Hole, LaBola, Distinguished Anyways, DIEstinguished, PD45). In this rhythmic, graphic duet, she jeers to a body-and-sound score that reaches its climax thanks to repetitive, vibrant staging, voices shouting in unison, and increasingly intense lighting. Using micro-gestures (stroking, poking out her tongue, sniffing) and micro-phrases (“Sh!”, “Hey!”, “Make an effort!”), the bodies, masculinised by their costumes, behave in a slovenly or vulgar fashion; the spectacular alphabet of Bell end borrows from the excessive masculinity of postures that remind us how human nature is both shared and absurd. Comedy and the grotesque go hand in hand in this ingenious corporeal and verbal discussion, which, beyond its immediate impact, investigates the invisible marks that outrageous behaviour leaves on our bodies and memories.
