Choreographic Trio on a Body of Water
for a Dancer, an Ice Puppet, and Her Puppeteer
A Landscape Piece
Mizu, which means "water" in Japanese (水), brings together the worlds of circus artist and choreographer Satchie Noro and puppeteer and director Élise Vigneron.
It is a landscape piece on water, a pas de trois performed by a dancer, an ice puppet, and her puppeteer. A tale of suspension, metamorphosis, ephemerality, and mirrors.
Born from their encounter, this creation merges their approaches to material and storytelling—through dance, circus arts, and puppetry. For Satchie Noro, the show continues her poetic exploration of movement in non-traditional spaces—architectural apparatuses—while for Élise Vigneron, it extends a decade-long investigation into ice and remote puppet manipulation.
This unique artistic object reveals the murmurs of matter in transformation: as a duo, as a trio, blending bodies of ice and flesh. It offers us games of balance, lifts, counterweights, surrender… games with a double.
In Mizu, on this thread between appearance and disappearance, Satchie and Élise wish to celebrate impermanence, the fragility of existence as an ode to life, the fusion with this element that makes up our bodies: water, and the passage from form to matter.
