Nebula is a sensorial piece between circus and digital arts.
It is a duo on a Chinese pole between a man and a woman.
The characters are integrated into a scenic set up that is itself an independent living organism, a parallel dimension in which they are immersed, and the Chinese pole is part of it. This organism resonates with their relation , their mutual feelings, it is a physical mirror of their relationship. Nebula wants to explore the complexity of relationships between two beings, whose social roles are undefined.
Nebula is a sensory journey.
A cycle, a constantly evolving universe, organic, alive.
The spiral of time.
The breath.
A flip to the physical space, a new sight, another angle.
It means to accept to have the body of the other and to accept to give your body to the other; to understand the strength and the fragility of each one.
Sharing an intimity, sharing ones fears, walking together, learning together.
Rafael de Paula was born in Brazil in 1984. At 21, he was formed to circus at Escola Popular de Circo de Belo Horizonte, and at 25, he came to France to continue his training at Centre National des Arts du Cirque, in Châlons en Champagne.
In 2012, Rafael created Compagnie du Chaos to develop his projects around circus, dance and numeric arts.
The first creation of Compagnie du Chaos was the show Vigilia, which is revealing of the link wanted by Rafael, between Chinese pole, sound, light and video. All of these elements are a matter of the work. After several months of research and tests, using memories of his dreams, Rafael based his work around several subjects : the double, the mirror, the verticality, the fall.
