Project Arachnur

description

Cie kraD’s first creation « Arachnur » is a fusion of contemporary circus and noise with a strong penchant towards the obscure.

In a universe of ropes and cables, the audience discovers a body caught under the weight of life, revealing its slow struggle towards a metaphorical suicide. It is a visceral dive into the abyss of the human soul through acoustical borderline and dark imagery. Some sort of macabre ritual, reflecting (on) despair and the harrowing loop of dark thoughts; an embodiment of a mental crawl towards the gallows.

« Arachnur » is beyond evil or good, definitely cathartic, but nevertheless poetic. An ongoing hymn to the dark and what lays within it, inspired by the quote of the painter Pierre Soulages: « Mon instrument n’était plus le noir, mais cette lumière secrète venue du noir. » « My instrument was no longer the dark, but that secret light that came from the dark. »
