Chute libre (or free fall) | Melanie Schauwecker

An exploration into the world of Falling... Bodies scratching on the floor: men, women, tangled, hair undone, trying to slip on a jacket, a tie, high heels... and get back up. Struggling to regain their composure, their daily habits, and reaffirm their ideals. Each individual obsession is a quest for survival. Clinging with all their might as they ascend, risking all, they madly wrestle with themselves to the point of blindness, where everything may come crashing down... Created and performed with Compagnie Yapaidee in Nanterre, France, 2006
