Ventriloque d\u2019un genre in\u00e9dit, elle donne corps \u00e0 trois voix, trois individus autres qu\u2019elle-m\u00eame, sous l\u2019\u0153il d\u2019un cinqui\u00e8me qui se d\u00e9double \u00e0 l\u2019envi dans un amusant contrepoint vid\u00e9o. Qui est-elle\u00a0? Une femme d\u2019\u00e2ge m\u00fbr, une petite fille, un homme au fort accent, toute une communaut\u00e9\u00a0? Ou encore, une artiste qui les ferait tous exister \u00e0 la fois dans un \u00e9tonnant num\u00e9ro d\u2019\u00e9quilibriste\u00a0? <em>Bin ich das\u00a0? <\/em>(litt\u00e9ralement \u00ab\u00a0suis-je cela\u00a0?\u00a0\u00bb) brouille les contours de l\u2019identit\u00e9 pour mieux l\u2019interroger dans toutes ses dimensions \u2014 intime, psychique, sociale \u2014, avant de nous retourner la question. Ce qu\u2019on entend n\u2019est pas ce que l\u2019on voit et inversement. Et c\u2019est dans cet \u00e9cart entre l\u2019\u0153il et l\u2019oreille que l\u2019artiste titille malicieusement le sens. Pour sa premi\u00e8re performance th\u00e9\u00e2trale, \u00e9crite \u00e0 partir d\u2019interviews, la vid\u00e9aste bernoise joue all\u00e8grement avec la notion de personnage, sur la fronti\u00e8re du r\u00e9el et de la fiction, et se montre rompue \u00e0 l\u2019exercice de la repr\u00e9sentation. Dans ce solo \u00e0 plusieurs voix, o\u00f9 elle arpente l\u2019espace du th\u00e9\u00e2tre avec juste ce qu\u2019il faut d\u2019artifices, Sarah Hugentobler nous fait entendre l\u2019invisible.","_fr_post_excerpt":"","_fr_post_title":"Sarah Hugentobler","_fr_post_name":"sarah-hugentobler","edit_language":"en"},"excerpt":{"raw":"","rendered":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/selectionsuisse.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spectacle\/987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/selectionsuisse.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spectacle"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/selectionsuisse.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/spectacle"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/selectionsuisse.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
