Olivier Debelhoir makes his first in-theatre creation with La vie de ma mère, a circus-theatre piece led by Compagnie d’un Ours. As performer and director, Debelhoir and his collaborators probe language, vertigo and the mechanics of wonder, combining intimate clowning, accordion music and surreal apparitions. Staged encounters — including a knight figure and a momentary levitation forty-seven centimetres above the ground — build a tense, poetic atmosphere that oscillates between humour and uncanny lyricism.
