“I’ve never known how to fly. That’s normal, no one has ever taught me.” Part dialogue, part duet, part lesson in dance and theatre, Le rêve de voler (“The Dream of Flying”) is a whimsical exploration of the absurdities tied to our obsession with self-optimisation. In this theatre and dance piece, Sophie Billon and Nicolas Barry take to the stage in a series of exercises meant to lead to flight – a goal that, from the outset, is doomed to fail. Neither is a bird and neither will soar. They won’t even manage much of a jump. Set against a political and public backdrop overwhelmed by economic performance, social pressure and the cult of physical power, Le rêve de voler offers a humorous and dreamlike alternative. It unfolds as a deliberately clumsy, methodical dance – a manifesto of fragility and joyful inadequacy.
