« How can I continue to live as a physical performer with an injured body ? Where is my place ? I know that it exists. I don't want to expose my injured body, I want to make it dance. I want to make it exist in its new and different beauty. I want to invent the strange language of my new body.
All my life, I have pushed my limits even further, I find on track, on stage, an energy, a strength that only exists at that moment. With my body as it is today, I still continue to surpass myself to experience strong emotions and share them with the spectators. I still feel that I am a "circus man"...The characters Oedipus and Antigone will enable me to surpass my own story, as well as symbolizing these extraordinary forces that have carried me for all these years. At the heart of this relationship, On the road..., free interpretation of the novel Oedipus on the road by Henry Bauchau, is questioned the connection with otherness. My reflection does not concentrate on Oedipus' tragedy or his modern myth but on his personal journey in which a man faces the darkness that he holds in him. A woman imposes herself in this journey, she knows that they need one another to get through it. »
