The word “hasard” (random) comes from the Arabic word az-zahr, which refers to the game of dice.
Here, six protagonists are cast on the board, like the six sides of a die. Baffled at first, they cannot avoid collision and the unpredictability of encounters. The dice are cast, and combinations are endless.
But despite itself, chaos creates unexpected logics, structured ensembles, and gestures and forms contaminate one another. The principle of contagion and contrast organises the stage, underpinned by the breathless tempo of the soundtrack, the vibrant lighting and the fiery energy of the performers.
Pierre Rigal constructs this cavalcade like a free mathematics whose theorems give permission for fantasy, escape and uplift.
