HP24 - Time to Tell
Martin Palisse
Dancing black and white balls, minimalist tempo, bare stage, action under control. Martin Palisse juggles to the rhythm of his story as the carrier of a rare genetic disease. A background that he allows himself to treat with irony and even light-heartedness. Defying gravity, his tamed balls punctuate the story of a life spent under surveillance: the hospital corridors, the exercise tests, the condescending little phrases of certain caregivers. Time to Tell is a poetic exploration guided by a profound questioning of the passage of time and the contingency of things. A powerful self-portrait – without pathos – like a hybrid object in tension between the graceful motions of the juggler and the force of the story told, or captured by director David Gauchard.
