Dominique Diterzi and Claire Boivin are on a stage. Dominiclair falls overboard. Who's left?
Synchronised narrating, a topic that drives them up the wall. After the wreck, they talk by the fire about film music through the body, about disciplines to break, about blurred boundaries, about boy-toys and women-walls to tear down, about the possibility to alter voices, about tragi-comic cheese, about costume design and hairdryers. Where's the dancer? Where's the singer? There's some bickering to figure out who'll play the leading role and in the end everyone agrees: there's no need for the artist to identify herself.

Dominique Boivin has been a practitioner of acro dance since he was six years old, before turning to classical dance when he was ten, and to contemporary dance at eighteen. He often associates musicians, such as Émilien Leroy or Joëlle Léandre, to his work focusing on the subtlety of gestures. 

In parallel with her rich and poetic creation of albums and solo concerts, singer and multi-instrumentalist Claire Diterzi has been composing for the theatre since 2002. After creating the music of the Théâtre à cru, she then took part in the plays of Philippe Decouflé and of Marcial Di Fonzo Bo and Élise Vigier.
