With his ‘circus of objects’, Alexis Rouvre becomes a juggler of time rather than a juggler of gravity.
Alexis Rouvre proposes an astonishing handling of time, a staging based on the symbolism of objects and the feelings transmitted by his kinetics, sound, and lights.
Using chains, needles and wool, volcanic stones, sand, magnets, and pendulums, he develops a minimalist vocabulary to address a poetical, rhythmic, and fascinating style that focuses on the surprising potential hidden in the details that commonly escape to us and on the race against time imposed by society.
Puppet theatre. Direct handling, circus of objects.
