Jef Everaert & Marica Marinoni (FR) — IN difference
Next performance
About the performance
Jef and Marica find themselves constrained by their differences — in how they think, how they see the world. Their duo seems unable to find common ground. Too different to align, too connected to ignore. At the center of this pair: a metal wheel — both a fracture line and a meeting point. It becomes a place of exchange, of transformation. Through it, they learn to communicate, fall together, rise again to begin anew. Their bodies search for a language without grammar, giving life to an intense physical dialogue — both metaphorical and abstract — where the encounter between differences becomes their creative engine.
What does it mean to be two without merging?
Can we coexist without compromise, without fusion, without hierarchy? In Difference offers no answer.
It performs it.
Company presentation :
Marica and Jef met in 2018. Sharing the same fascination for research with the wheel, they developed distinct practices of this apparatus. Over the years, they feel bound by the same obsession, which leads them to delve into two very different sides of the same discipline. They feel inspired by their diversity and complementarity of thought, body and culture. In 2022, they met again with the desire to develop a project together in which their research interests around the wheel would have a central place. Thus they initiated their first show as co-writers.
