August 16th somewhere in the world.
Day of Elvis' death, a terrible day for any self-respecting lookalike. Jean-Damien, Joël, Pascal and Mathurin meet every year to celebrate in their own way the incandescent presence of the King.
LARRONS EN BASKETS BLEUES is not, however, a show about Elvis, or look-alikes. It is a show about the human difficulty of being oneself. A difficulty so great that we need to be someone else to notice it. For this show, Héloïse Ravet undertakes research on the movement of imitation and repetition. She is interested in under-represented corporealities, those that escape the norm of the iconic body. It stages the failures of life, the forgotten ones. Those who try sincerely, but will never succeed. Those who do nothing but fall, whose bodily rhythm has become that of the fall.
