Creation 2024
Solo for manipulator of everyday objects
60 minutes – For all ages from 7 years, and certainly not least

Originally entitled Vu, this show was created in 2012 by Étienne Manceau. In 2022, in Vue, it was adapted for women and performed by Amélie Venisse.

In 2024, a new version of the play was created. Entitled « Vu.Vue », it offered spectators the chance to vote at the start of the performance. Who will perform the play? A radical way of putting the ultimate choice back into the hands of the audience.
The person voted out at the start of the show will nevertheless make a few incongruous appearances over the course of the performance. Two silhouettes, two characters, mirroring and/or opposing each other.

At the crossroads of Théâtre d’Objets, Cirque miniature and involuntary clowning, this solo show for manipulators of everyday objects features a meticulous, delicate protagonist, a cantankerous, over-ordered brunette.

The opposite of the hyperactive, he/she is busy with things that may sometimes be trivial and insignificant, but are always indispensable in his/her own sense, and this in the most conscientious and sincere way. He’s there, calm, very calm, very very calm, but the story gets out of hand…

This silent show is about the little obsessions of everyday life, the ones that sometimes become sickly and, through excessive attention to detail, end up « blowing up the pot ».

Avec trois fois rien, Sacékripa arrive à écrire un spectacle féroce, drôle, parfois à la lisière du dérangeant. Une parabole musclée des petites habitudes que nous fétichisons à mesure que le temps passe ».
