A deluge music, lights, voices. It is a disturbing experience that offer François Tanguy and his troupe of the Raft Theatre, with "Ricercar". This theater, which can be described as non-dramatic, because there are no distinct characters or story, based on editing, layering, overlapping of different elements.
On a stage where all deep space constantly changes, men in gray suits and women dressed in white faces surmaquillés dresses full of petticoats move, dance, are doing, declaim or murmur snatches text, in French or in European languages, sometimes inaudible when music cover them. The text is a material among others (music, lights, displacement) through which the director tries to bring out the emotion.
Caught in this profusion of shouting, lights, movements, loud music, the viewer finds it hard to navigate. He does not want to do poetry with lots of dramatic effects to give rise to emotion. Because too many feelings aside sensation. Saturated and the viewer waits for the show Grand Guignol and confused as a deliverance.
