“Unspoken words are silences that speak.” - Daniel Desbiens
Dance is slowly connected to juggling, in a slow ascension and a true harmony. The balls become transactional objects. Organic gestures entwine in a mirror exchange while, little by little, rhythmic ruptures arise. The balls sometimes muzzle the other, or get away; the eyes meet, the bodies brush up against each other… Silence begins to speak in this sensual, feverish and harmonious hand-to-hand act between the juggler Clément Dazin and the dancer Chinatsu Kosakatani that is choreographed by Bruno Dizien and Christina Santucci. Created as part of the “Des Sujets à Vif – SACD” at the Festival d’Avignon in 2013, R2JE is an elegant and refined piece that questions the different games that may feed into the relationship between a man and a woman. It also reveals, beyond its apparent discourse, the silence that is so often much louder between beings. What unites a couple? What splits a couple to the point of agony?

Fascinated by movement and the mastery of the body in space, Clément Dazin started practicing gymnastics before discovering the circus when he was 16 with the Cie Point Bar. After a Master's in management, he attended a circus school in Lyon before going to the Centre National des Arts du Cirque. In 2012, he presented his final project performance This Is the End that was directed by David Bobée. In 2013, he created Bruit de Couloir, which is still on tour today. Dazin was accompanied in his projects by La Brèche Pôle national des arts du cirque de Cherbourg, and La Magnanerie. In 2014, he created R2JE, a kind of juggling and dance duo with Chinatsu Kosakatani, at the Festival d’Avignon/Sujets à Vif. He founded his company, La Main de l’homme, in Strasbourg in 2016. In his last creation, Humanoptère, which he performed with six other artists, he tackled the theme of work.
When discussing his art, he writes: “Juggling is for me an artistic medium, like painting or sculpture. What I like about it is its fragility. It is extremely complicated to address existential themes through juggling and it is this complexity that delights me and that I am so passionate about.”
