OLIVIER RANNOU / CReATION 2011
|
Adventure with a capital A, Survival with a capital S, raging seas! All this and more is offered by Uncharted Waters – a collective experience of the extreme in a marine setting, in which the fragile theatrical skiff is swept far from any safe shore… The spectators are invited to imagine that they are passengers on a boat that is breaking up in the middle of an apocalyptic storm on the high seas. But all is not lost, because the Captain is keeping watch from the stage. Battling for all he’s worth against the powerful elements, this modern-day survivor will do everything he can to get through this ordeal. Olivier Rannou, in the anti-heroic role of the somewhat unhinged but totally likeable old sea dog, delivers a performance that is both surreal and funny. Maintaining a fine balance between melodrama and sincerity, the actor takes the audience on a slightly mad and unrelenting journey. The visual discoveries and lo-fi special effects combine to create a totally convincing – if often strange – aquatic universe. A short form of object theatre offering an intensely epic experience that skilfully navigates between laughter and fear, against a background of inspiring, almost poetic, images… ❛❛Olivier Rannou is one of those brilliant contraptionists whose creative fingers turn everything they touch into gold. It all works beautifully: the design and staging, the acting, the way objects are manipulated and the clever lighting.
