“A More” : un voyage de papier kraft pour la Saison culturelle 26·27

The performance "A More" by Claire Lamothe (Cie HBBB) took place on Tuesday, November 10th, at the Espace Robert Hossein in Lourdes, captivating a large audience with a show blending contemporary dance, visual performance, and voice.

As part of the Cultural Season and the Festinov’ Dance Festival, Claire Lamothe delivered a 50-minute performance described as a mix of delirium, absurdity, and beauty. Alone on stage, the artist embodies a character in constant imbalance, on a shifting ground that engulfs and reappears her. Her primary material is kraft paper, which she folds, crumples, and unfolds, sometimes seeming to merge with it. A rope adds another layer, symbolizing endless tangled connections. The light and sound respond to her movements, creating a true duet with the dancer.
The show, at the crossroads of contemporary dance and visual performance, evokes raw poetry and a fantastic universe. Claire Lamothe creates the sound effects herself, with a play of light and sound accompanying each transformation.
Following the performance, an "end-of-show" discussion allowed the audience to interact with the artist and discover the behind-the-scenes of this creation. The next event in the Cultural Season is scheduled for Thursday, November 26th, with "Karma Bazar" at the Palais des Congrès.
Ticket prices vary: €12 for full price, with discounts for seniors, groups, young adults (18-30), and a reduced rate for those on minimum social benefits and job seekers. Children's shows are €3, and the cinema offers tickets at €3 or €6.
