Laurent Fraunié

MEGASTRETCH white

After his first piece "Mooooooooonstres", Laurent Fraunié has now written the second part of this triptych entitled "à2pas2delaporte" on the subject of the most intimate fears. While the first part was dedicated to the fear of falling asleep, "à2pas2delaporte" deals with the fear of change. The character played by Laurent Fraunié is confronted with the idea of movement, of leaving a familiar and reassuring space to confront an unknown, imagined space. This is represented on stage by the door and the window, which offer a view of an outside world that is both attractive and frightening.

Laurent Fraunié, who specializes in the genre of object and image theater, addresses his audience without a word, in an exchange in which gestures replace words. The ephemeral and slippery materials used are sufficient in themselves to express the instability of the figure and contrast with the unchanging appearance of the wall against which the figure collides.
