Gustavia
Mathilde Monnier /
La Ribot
In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels™ is supporting the Festival Les Inaccoutumés for the presentation of the show Gustavia by Mathilde Monnier & La Ribot.
Who is Gustavia? Who is this intriguing woman? This woman who, in a single movement, both reveals and conceals herself? This woman whose body is nothing but a mystery? Is she about to bawl her eyes out or to laugh hysterically? How many faces can she wear? And how many postures can she adopt? With their characteristic irreverence and rigor, Mathilde Monnier and La Ribot face off in this dizzying encounter, choosing to "rely on the traditional objects that constitute the theater as a space: the entrances, the curtains, the edge of the stage, the auditorium, the chairs, the depth of field, along with comedy as an ironic, detached way of relating to the world.
