Etienne Manceau
and Mathieu Despoisse
After many collaborations on collective productions, Etienne has been working on his own lately. He is the author and performer of Vu and VRAI with Sacékripa company. As for Mathieu, he spent most of his career performing under big tops within the Cheptel Aleikoum collective before creating a more intimate show Dad is Dead. Their distinctive creative approach and artistic vision have encouraged them to work together on this new project Pling-Klang.
Two people facing the audience: Etienne Manceau and Mathieu Despoisse. This production focuses on one word, one notion which every person defines his/ her own way, that of The Couple.
Doing and undoing, constructing and deconstructing. That is particular to human nature and individuals, whether they live as a couple or not. Pling-Klang deals with love, disenchantment, manipulation and IKEA furniture.
