DOCTEUR B

A theatre artist for whom the dancing body has pride of place, Ève-Chems de Brouwer anchors her work in reality, which she investigates with the fascination of an anthropologist. A made-to-measure piece for her neurologist husband, Docteur B. is an act of love that plunges the audience into the mysteries of the brain –what nourishes it, why some become irrational and unhinged.

A couple onstage as in life. Her approach to movement is scientific as she transforms gesture into dance. Standing in the way of this clinical look are irrational impulses and fragile postures. Things start to come together. And there it is, the human race – its incomprehensible changes of mood, its monstrous rages, its sublime instincts – incarnated in magnificent fashion.
