CATALÀ CATALÀ Here, in Bleu Électrique, a cinematic atmosphere hovers. The characters are there, on the border between garbage and oblivion. Beneath an apparent ugliness that reflects a harsh everyday life, Bleu Électrique transcends toward a dreamlike beauty and lightness. Here, humanity is portrayed in all its splendour, its cruelty and its absurdity. Unpredictable behaviours and relationships, distressing events, absurd repercussions and endings complicit with general indifference. A nervousness, both pleasant and unsettling, takes hold of the audience, witness to this reality. By addressing fundamental human feelings — fears, anxieties, but also desires and aspirations — Bleu Électrique takes the risk of offering a raw and uncompromising look at reality, while at the same time inviting us, sometimes in the same impulse, to dream. But only sometimes — no miraculous recipe is offered here. With strength, sarcasm and humour, the audience is immersed in this human comedy, both absurd and profound. All of it is quite disconcerting.
