Oriane Lautel (Belgium) – Des amoures chiennes aux amour-lichen – Static Trapeze
Eco, a one-of-a-kind character, invites us to a family dinner to tell us all about it. Even stuffed with anachronisms, it’s succulent. She’s shameless and voracious. We’re in her shack, which looks like a badly assembled fairground barnum, though it’s actually the ridges of an ancestral mineral. She talks with her mouth full. She drools, we salivate. This is the story of Eco, of Actéonne who, after a metamorphosis, becomes Accettone, of the woman with a hundred eyes who, in several episodes, takes us on this viscous journey.
Welcome to a world swallowed up by female/queer characters who want to form a whole with their stories, bodies and voices. How desire and violence are housed in the same body. Indiscernible. A chimera body. Algae and Mushrooms. Desire and Violence. My lichen has parents.
Oriane is a hybrid circus creator and performer. She learned to sew with a diploma in costume design. She tried her hand at research at the Sorbonne Nouvelle. And it was at the École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque that she discovered the body machine. Now based in Brussels, she sews all these skills together to create spectacular projects, always in close collaboration. She develops a carnal and radical relationship with the stage.
In 2022, she co-created her first indoor circus show with Camille Granger, Le Cri du bombyx. This project is part of a research project started in 2016 with Anarchitecture, focusing on the deconstruction of the apparatus and the non-virtuoso circus gesture.
