Compagnie Dérézo
Anchored in Brest (France) since May 2000, the Compagnie Dérézo offers performances that go beyond frames.
From one genre to another, whether indoors or in the public space, the company affirms the necessity of inventing a critical approach to our age, never leaving behind its will to party and civic sense.
Unrelenting workhorse feeding a collective desire to undermine the industry of understanding, Dérézo seems to want to slide, like a knifeblade, into the ephemeral gap separating the implicit from the manifest.
Here, jumping with both both feet into established meaning is a fool’s errand.
Dérézo practices the equivocal like a martial art, an effective antidote to poisoning by language.
Because to master language is to master the art of selfdefence.
In the heart of the city, the Compagnie Dérézo welcomes the testimonies, the fantasies, and the worries of its inhabitants; and it can reafirm them,
re-enchant the fact that being together is work, responsability, and a weapon.
