This show, inspired by the popular Malagasy tale Ifaramalemy Sy Ikotobekibo (itself inspired by European tale Hansel and Gretel and Le Petit Poucet), invites us to reflect on our relationship to disability through the prism of a fraternal relationship that is strongly put to the test.
Unable to help their parents with the work in the fields, Fara and Koto are abandoned and lost in the forest, because Fara and Koto are not ordinary children. She, the sister, “had very soft legs”, He, the
brother, “could not speak”. But these “differents” beings will gradually realize that they can be free bodies, able to explore new possibilities, leading the viewer to re-examine their own view of disability and, even more-so, the differences it can represent.
Combining the hip-hop dance of Séverine Bidaud, the texts of Marion Aubert, and the video of Pascal Minet, Faraëkoto immerses us in a tender, frightening and moving choreographic tale that invites young and old to marvel together.
The 6e dimension company is currently looking for coproductions and pre-purchases for this 2020 creation. Please contact us to see the show file.
