Event Description : Alliance Française de Delhi presents "Métamorphoses" A juggling & dance show by François Chat

Métamorphoses is a solo juggling piece on “Metamorphosis” a creation of Philip Glass.
Seven little scenes based on the repetition of metamorphoses, subtle variations of time.
Skin transformations, “beech” modifications.
Metamorphosis: a change of physical form into another.
Complete change of being, a person’s character, the structure of things.
or
transformation of the body and lifestyle, in the course of development.
Like for some animals…

This study is an effort against juggling, against the spectacle.
There is a kind of symbiosis of minimalism in juggling with music.
For these “metamorphoses”, I am not looking for original inventions, that means, I am not looking for the prowess in a technique, nor the prowess in creating extraordinary, never-heard- of figures. I am not interested in discovery, rather in rediscovery that happens in a simple throw of balls.
This requires an inwardness, forgetting the balls…
To plunge into infinite juggling to come out of it.
The inside transforms the outside.
To work on listening, listening to suspension, suspend transformation, 
transform the invisible…to hypnotise.
Apparitions in light, disappearing and reappearing in another form.
Seven metamorphoses, like the seven days of the week, like the seven steps of transformation.
