Synopsis of a Battle

Once again Guilloteau works together with Alain Franco for the musical dramaturgy. On stage two dancers, Claire Croizé and Guilloteau himself. As two is the minimum number of people to establish a relationship, and two is the maximum before it forms a group. They enter into a dialogue and move through space, words and music appearing both together and separately. Their relationship acquires different forms and evokes different stories without actually becoming one. Nor do the words tell a concrete story, but they reveal a trail that leaves room for the imagination. The text is spoken, sung and projected; it is the chorus of Greek tragedies. All these elements make Synopsis of a Battle into a new step in Guilloteau’s work as a whole. A performance that talks about battle, dialogue and… love.
