Rêve suspendu
, by Olivier Colot
Track from the EP "Is it over?" released by Cinematic Electronics.
A vast stage whose background is not clearly visible in the dark. 5 draped acrobats descend vertically from the high ceilings that are lost in the mist. Suspended, they descend from their ropes in loops so slow that one would think they were moving in slow motion. Under the slices of shimmering lights that illuminate them, we discover a few centimeters of water on the ground. Two three passers-by walk on it and have fun splashing the water on the ground in a light drizzle. They stop laughing to contemplate their rainbow under the gaze of the acrobats who continue their eternal descent. Once the ground is touched, the movement reverses and falls back down by leaps. The acrobats take part in the game by projecting themselves in pendulum on the water. Water jets rise from their feet brushing the ground. Repeated blows are heard. Put on alert, the passers-by and the acrobats finally resign themselves to answer the call. They fade into the shadows of the backdrop, leaving the dream in the air.
