The Flying Machine

The Flying Machine is a highly acclaimed international collaboration formed in Paris in 1996 under the auspices of legendary teacher Jacques Lecoq. Its primary tools are the body, manipulated objects, mask-play and music; they draw on their Lecoq training and utilize their knowledge of Khatakali, Decroux, and other contemporary dance forms to train and to inform their work. Here, the troupe uses its global array of styles in a theatrical recreation of the suicide of the famous French author Louis Ferdinand Celine. This play was developed with the help of Soho Rep Equity Showcase and The Public Theatre.
The Flying Machine is presented as part of the Collective: Unconscious Underground Zero festival.
