Show Whales

The sounds emitted by whales fascinate us as much as they inspire us. These ancestral voices seem to be able to distort time, to immerse us in an introspection state where the internal space becomes huge and dense. Thanks to the gathering of recordings of humpback whales and bowhead whales, more precisely with scientific researchers in bioacoustics, we have built a sound repertory, like a research base. Genuine study through listening, we seek to become familiar, to ingest these sounds so that they transform us and lead us to build an imagination and a common language. Whales is defined as an immersive experience for the audience. We seek to build a space where the movement is an appeal to the other and where it becomes urgent to get closer. How to transcribe the feeling of depth and immensity? How the choreographic and sound proposal distort time and space

LA PIEUVRE Whales is the product of La Pieuvre, association based in Paris and created in 2018 upon the initiative of Rebecca Journo and Véronique Lemonnier. La Pieuvre defines itself as a production company where different forms of creation coexist. The issue of gender and of the representation of the woman, the will to decompartmentalise, the research of intimacy, the closeness with the public are so many elements characterizing the artistic approach carried out by La Pieuvre. Whales is initiated following the competition Place en mouvement organized by the cultural center Houdremont in May 2018. Winner of the competition, Véronique and Rebecca start the creation of the duo, especially with Chloé Zamboni who takes up the role of Véronique for the first residence outing on November 14, 2018, in La Courneuve.

L’Epouse/La Ménagère, diptych created and played by Rebecca Journo is the other project currently produced by La Pieuvre. Several cultural action projects are also carried out simultaneously with the creation work. In 2019, Rebecca participates also to the Création en cours strategy of the Ateliers Medicis; she will speak in the primary school Joliot Curie in Bagneux between March and June 2019. La Pieuvre is also accompanied by Danse Dense.
