Jack IN THE BOX / MAC VAL

After her Snow-White, the choreographer Catherine Baÿ is questioning an other character, an other archetypal figure who is the white clown.
As the snow-white project, White clowns in "Jack in the Box" are extracted from their original setting and become objects, vanities creating a trouble. This trouble purpose is to question norms, codes of practice that are dissolving inside a whiteness nearly pictorial. A disappearance and a death that are processing within a deliberate irony.
