Compagnie 111 has been invited to perform its creation Je me souviens Le Ciel est loin la terre aussi at two contemporary arts venues in Eastern Europe. Firstly at the Trafo in Budapest, with which Compagnie 111 has strong links. The company has performed there six times since 2006, most recently with aSH in November 2021. The tour then continues at the National Theatre in Sofia.
Toulouse, 1994: a young Aurélien Bory attends the show Le ciel est loin la terre aussi (Heaven is far away, the Earth as well) by the director Mladen Materic, known for his highly elegant and delicate theatre. This performance and its visual power make a deep impression on him and have left luminous and persistent traces in his own career as an artist. What remains in us of the shows we have seen, when the curtain falls? What do we do with these memories? These are just some of the avenues that Aurélien Bory and Mladen Materic are exploring. It is not strictly speaking a question of recreating the show identically, rather of using elements – the sets, costumes and even the original actors! – to tell the story of how a work can become a source of inspiration. This remake, with its burlesque melancholy, is intensely poetic and resonates with stories of family and transmission.
