POST-SHOW DISCUSSION!
On 18 September Noémi Herczog (critic) will be talking with the creators after the performance. Everybody is welcome!
Sometimes it seems there's scarcely a juggler who's not deeply interested in mathematics and the sizeable body of music that closely abuts it. Whether it's an industrial robot-arm, or wooden benches statically matching, or (in this case) Bach, jugglers can be relied on to reach far outside the usual circus repertoire and, in the nerdiest instances, to let that music score the technical aspects of their work. Pan-Pot is three jugglers with a pianist on stage and a huge supply of white juggling balls, a mannequin (sometimes), and nothing else. Lit with painterly care and extreme restraint, the jugglers in dark suits, Pan-Pot takes the method of deadpan clown and develops its rhythms of anticlimax and silence within a completely abstract structure.
By and with: Nicolas Mathis, Julien Clement, Denis Fargeton
Music: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Ligeti, Liszt, Kagel, Dutilleux, Fauré, Wagner
Piano: Jean-Michel Dayez
Outside eye: Simon Carrot
Co-production: Théâtre Gérard Philipe de Frouard, L’Arche de Bethoncourt, Pronomades en Haute-Garonne, Les Migraiteurs, Le Maillon de Strasbourg, Les Subsistances à Lyon
