Hourvari
Compagnie Rasposo
Wire, Korean teeterboard, aerial acrobatics
This far-reaching show has been constructed like a folktale with a cast of enigmatic characters who blur the audience’s perception of what’s real and what’s not. Created by the renowned Compagnie Rasposo, Hourvari takes a close look at our world that is torn between artifice and authenticity, illusion and reality.
In French, the word “hourvari” refers to a maneuver used by wild animals being hunted: they trace back on their own tracks to mislead the dogs. The word also evokes confusion, disorder, unexpected difficulties, a hullabaloo, a loud noise, a din, a racket, confusion, or chaos. What’s more, hourvari can also mean a violent gust of wind, a storm, a tempest.
With its powerful images and theatrical staging, this performance questions the transient nature of life, the passage of time, our vanities, and our intoxications, all while celebrating the beauty of existence.
“The inventiveness of this circus is like no other: it’s without doubt what we like best about this company. And the turmoil generated by this performance never ceases to titillate the audience.” | Léna Martinelli, Les trois coups
