A performance of free improvisation, with Charlotte Berthermet, Nathanaël Bez, Alexandre Bibia, Olivier Boréel, Charlotte Dechriste, Fabien Dymny, Lola Gonthier, Agathe Herry, Méli Leray, Mariana Montoya Yepes, Cassandre Moun, Marion Papirolles, Marie Simon, Arnaud Ménard, Anne Peufeuilhoux, Matthieu Welterlin. We collected materials, props and costumes. We discovered objects in the streets; people throw out great treasures. We collected improbable items, costumes, clothes, beautiful fabrics, anchored in their time. A collage in four dimensions unfolds. Sometimes it is precise, analytical, funny. Sometimes it becomes impressionistic and dreamlike. It can be deeply moving, even informative, but difficult to analyze, just like our dreams. The performers feel that they go “elsewhere within themselves”, free, transposing the torments of our contemporary world in this space-time, in search of authenticity, with the humor necessary to create desire. The process is as mysterious and captivating for the audience as it is for the performers. Everything comes together: doubt, fear, disappointment, anxiety, and the joy of living. DbD (Doing by Doing) is a technique and a concept-workshop created by Rachel Rosenthal and directed by Nathalie Broizat. The DbD was born from “Instant Theater”, a series of improvised performances developed by Rachel Rosenthal in the 1950s in Los Angeles. This show is the result of an intensive workshop for professional performers, dancers and actors directed by Nathalie Broizat.
