Inspired by Deleuze’s Logique de la sensation and Francis Bacon’s paintings, Cherepaka is a scenographic composition that explores the duality of eternity and death, and the human desire to live. This essay tries to go beyond the curiosity of contortion - to make this acrobatic language a physical one capable of stimulating the audience's imagination. Contortionist Andréane began her circus career at nine years of age. Driven by a desire to harness contortion technique as a malleable material that is capable of generating a world of sensations and imagery beyond the spectacle, she now creates her own experimental and conceptual performances (Di(x)parue, Cherepaka, InSuccube). In 2013, she obtained a Master’s Degree in Theatre at UQAM. She is currently working on Eat Me (Tangente, 2014) and Whore of Babylon, a co-creation with the Tiger Lillies.
