WARÉ MONO – KAORI ITO (JP)

Somewhere between gestural theatre, breakdance, and contemporary dance, the duo engages in a battle—sometimes wild, sometimes tender. As animals—monsters or twins—they gradually invent a ritual that unites them. They repair a broken marionette, a remnant of a wounded childhood, and draw inspiration from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, in which broken objects are reassembled with gold—leaving the cracks visible, even magnified. Is this type of repair also possible for wounds from childhood? Can we refine these scars and make them valuable? Kaori Ito, artistic director of the Théâtre Jeune Public (TJP) at the Centre Dramatique National Strasbourg, has created this fascinating choreography for children aged 6 and over.
