Pan!

Compagnie Gaïus
France
Compagnie Gaïus

With an exclamation mark! Because we refuse to take ourselves seriously.

Pan!, it’s also our relationship with mythology. Together, we form a hybrid being, half-god, half-man. And through hand-to-hand gestures, this is what we want to explore: the polysemy of relationship between two men. Who are we together? Our respective first names lead us, at the very least, to imperialism. This pushes us towards lightness and derision. But the fact is, we're serious. Serious in the lightest possible way. Serious in our training, in our technical research, and light in our desire to exist beyond virtuosity. What attracts us are small moments of grace. Moments whose laborious fabrication we keep secret, in complicity with our musician, in order to offer poetry.

Pan! is a deep and intimate connection of trust between the two of us and with the audience, heightened by the physical risks we take, and based on active listening and total presence. This intimacy is revealed as much through the circus score as through the choreographic, theatrical, lighting and musical score, which are in constant dialogue on stage and with our bodies. The soundscape, created live by the musician on stage with us, allows us to express our vital energy and spontaneity through different modulations and improvisations. The risk therefore also lies here, in the unknown and in vulnerability.
