Presentation
Some men. Some women. No characters and lots of engagement. This profoundly intimate creation, which is inspired by the eponymous essay by Nancy Huston, Reflets dans un œil d’homme [Reflections in the Eyes of a Man], invites the spectator to share the emotions and sensations of the body in relation to the other. There is the question of desire. Of different processes of desire. Those processes that exist between men and women that many of us forget. That few are willing to admit. A text—and a performance—that questions debauchery, sensuality, pornography, massages, orgasms, love… A show—and a text—that provide the material for a series of lifts, for a burlesque situation, or for a graphic scene. The rhythm of the show allows the spectator to take an occasional breath throughout this fluctuating emotional journey marked by silence, beauty, and laughter.
The virtuosity, rigor, and technical maturity of the trio enhance the Franco-Canadian author’s message, which is both universal and sensitive and which always hits the target. Just like the show, which serves as a means for the audience to measure their own stories.

“Favoring body over words, and art over agitation, the show is a success in the graceful and acrobatic way it deals with the injunctions and the expectations that exist in the relationships between men and women.” Midi Libre
Michaël Pallandre (a lifter who studied at Ménival and performed at the Lido) and Caroline Le Roy (a flyer who trained at the Lido) are the founding members of the Toulouse-based collective Prêt à Porter. They developed Histoire amère d’une douce frénésie in 2003 and toured with the performance. In 2009, they cofounded the XY collective before creating Reflets dans un œil d’homme in 2015 under the artistic entity Le Diable au Corps. Adrià Cordoncillo (a lifter and musician), whom they met when he was performing the XY collective’s show Le Grand C, has since then become a part of the company.
