GRANDE — de Tsirihaka Harrivel & Vimala Pons

NEWS


BIO

GRANDE — is a wildly contemporary show combining the poetry
of newly uncovered images with a clear-cut writing style. Including targets that are but an illusion, moods that tend to swing, music like a stubborn everyday scansion, rst times, last times and repetitions jammed in the middle. This performance built on gestures could take “say what we do and do what we say” as its motto and as a pledge of allegiance to chaotic honesty.

GRANDE — (with a hyphen) is a title to be completed, meaning that henceforth elements can be adjoined and expressed as GRANDE —, like for example the GRANDE — review.

This is a circus show that speaks the language of Music Hall and Variety. Somewhat like a journal, it is divided into a series of reviews. Things in Review: this means literally seeing them again and again over time, observing their development while also creating the possibility to act upon and repeat past exploits.

GRANDE — is a story of objects: familiar objects, objects of love, objects of childhood, objects of dispute and objects of obsession.
It is the unexpected recital of shifts in situations, be they physical or imaginary. This might not seem coherent but at least it’s not contradictory. What’s more, hindsight allows us to say that a potential transcription of the world lies somewhere between incoherence and contradiction.

There are only two people on stage, acting and reacting as events unfold: he is literally hanging onto a pair of jeans while they are thrown into a washing machine she is actually holding up. The show continues thus, apparently incongruous yet dotted with striking analo- gies.

They perform in spite of everything and, as a form of parapraxis, stop operating in spite of themselves. Their gestures arise accidentally on purpose, revealing a fragile clumsiness as they continually attempt to rework and alter the ow of events, according to both will and oppor- tunity.
