Camille
Boitel FRANCE Object
manipulator, acrobat, musician and dancer, Camille Boitel studied
at Annie Fratellini’s circus school in Paris. He spent four
years touring with James Thierrée’s Compagnie du Hanneton,
including visits to London with its hugely successful Junebug
Symphony and co-created the visual sequences for a production
of Carnival of the Animals with movie star Gérard Dépardieu,
and pianists, the Labecque Sisters. L’Homme d’Hus
is an unpredictable adventure, as much for the audience as for
the performer who battles onstage with unlikely objects and machines.
Inspired by the story of Job, the man from the land of Hus and
one of the Bible’s most sympathetic figures whose faith in
God was tested to the utmost, Boitel’s show contains echoes
of Chaplin, Keaton, Jérome Deschamps and Jacques Tati in
its portrait of a man beset with impossible tasks, seeking answers,
ambushed by life. ‘The
artistry is staggering... laughter came in huge waves.’ Runs approx 60 mins without interval
