Breaking free of all conventions two men create a dreamworld of lightness and freedom, of friendship without gravity. Inside their intimate living space, walls become floors and aerial passageways link each location.
In 2005 Mathurin Bolze astonished festival audiences with his surreal trampoline drama, Fenêtres, inspired by Italo Calvino’s story, The Baron in the Trees. Fed up with family, authority and decorum a young nobleman climbs into a tree and vows to remain there for the rest of his life. As in some famous Poe and Dostoïevski stories the protagonist has a double, and in this sequel to Fenêtres the young Baron’s charming exile takes a new course with the appearance of a doppelganger - perhaps his brother, his alter ego or maybe just his shadow.
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian on Des Goudron et des Plumes

"Mathurin Bolze makes time stand still and operates his own law of gravity. Breathtaking and beautiful”
Telerama"Brilliantly performed and exquisitely textured”
