Fantasmagories technologiques I, II, III
In three striking technological presentations, the brilliant illusionist Denis Marleau orchestrates a voyage to the land of absence. The journey takes the audience into a world where three tiny beings perched on high bring a bizarre story of children to life, children lost in an undefined place, their dreams shifting from the past to the present, between existence and its opposite. Then the audience moves, plunging into vaudeville that is devoid of slamming doors and lovers hiding in closets, venturing into a Beckett-like variation of the husband-wife-mistress trio that reveals the solitude of individuals by portraying the ridiculous aspects of life and love as we feel our way forward in total darkness. Then twelve faces suddenly appear in the darkness. They gaze at nothing, however, for they are all blind. Abandoned in a dark forest, they await their guide, who does not show up.
Together for the first time in Montreal, these technological shows leave, each in its own fashion, a lasting memory that is produced by the actors, who dazzle by their absence. Far from conventional theatre standards in a world that freely mixes performance and technology, this outstanding work leaves the audience stranded in a land of ghosts.
