Miettes

In this preview of the acrobatic-dance solo performance Miettes [Crumbs], the dancer and circus artist Jules Sadoughi delivers a delicate visual poem about the passage of time and its impact on the body.

In an expressive choreography composed of tight, fast movements, the artist incarnates a body that is both vibrant and constrained. There is no set, only a dancer-acrobat and a handful of objects that are explored for their symbolic value. There’s no set or scenery here. Only a dancer-acrobat and a handful of objects that are explored for their symbolic value.

Injured several times in his career, Jules Sadoughi has adopted a paradoxical attitude to pain, one that balances the power of a youthful body and the debilitation of physical wear and tear. This solo performance explores the strange sensation of being both 5 and 80 years old at the same time, like being a wild horse and an empty husk at the same time. This performance is at the crossroads of these two extremes.
