De ses mains - Creation 2020

The project De ses mains (creation planned for 2020), mixing circus, plastic arts and musical theatre is a quatuor which is both the following and the contrast of Fileuse, creation of 2015, aerial solo on a musical poem by Laurence Vielle and Wilfried Wendling.

The project starts when Cécile Mont-Reynaud meets Simone Prouvé (daughter of the designer Jean Prouvé and grand-daughter of the painter Victor Prouvé), 87th year-od textile worker and weaver, whose work is at the intersection of arts, design, handicraft and architecture. 

De ses mains is a circular plastical and sound installation, a monumental structure composed by thousands of vertical strings, like a huge weaving loom. A quatuor share this landscape and find blended routes made of chain, thread, mark, stroke. Three women, like three Fades - an aerial acrobat, a poet-storyteller, a harpist - go trough and inhabit the circular and central space, in all the possible dimensions of space and spirit. A man, in contrast, is present as a painter at work.
