Here is Jacques Gamblin, unleashed without a safety net, in the theater arena, to embody the surreal, poetic, and absurd little stories that were running through his head… A tender and delightful “heart journey.”
Jacques Gamblin plays the clown, but his sorrow is cheerful, and his heart sparkles. That’s good!
“He had a doubt, a cardiac doubt. He made an appointment with a scintigraph. Tuesday at 2:30 PM! Alright. They gave him a radioactive liquid to drink. He drank it, and a few hours later, he saw his heart on a screen. His heart was making stars. At first, he was a bit worried about all those stars around his heart, but the doctor reassured him: everything’s normal, he said, your heart sparkles, that’s good!”
These are the first words of Jacques Gamblin unleashed without a safety net in the theater arena. Because by asking himself all sorts of questions as quirky as they are innocent or funny, he ended up putting all his moods on paper and letting the music decompress the words.
On stage, no one could better embody his surreal, poetic, and absurd little stories, that were running through his head: the one about a cow tired of its beauty prizes who remembers love, or another about a giraffe with a neck so long it ends up getting tied in a knot…
Guided by the little light that shone there at the end of the words, he gives them life and movement, surrounded by two dancers to incarnate his dreamy thoughts.
The heart of his hero, this wounded man seeking to heal from his breakup, sparkles again when finally bodies brush against and illuminate each other.
