Ce mémoire multimodal porte sur la perte du compte, l’entrée dans un autre type de temporalité, au-delà du battement, au-delà de la mesure. Cette recherche explore le rythme tel qu’il est utilisé par les artistes de cirque de rue pendant leurs performances, leurs entraînements, et dans leur vie quotidienne. Elle est le fruit de cinq mois de travail de terrain à Palerme, en Sicile, auprès d’artistes de cirque spécialisés dans la corde, les sangles aériennes, la jonglerie, le clown et le trapèze volant. Parce que le cirque est une expérience visuelle, sonore, corporelle et sensorielle, cette recherche s’inscrit dans une anthropologie des sens, en se concentrant sur la manière dont les sens – entendre, voir, ressentir – peuvent transformer le corps et les relations sociales. Elle décrit ce que le corps circassien sait à travers le rythme. Pour représenter ce savoir sensoriel, ce projet multimodal se compose d’un mémoire écrit ainsi que d’un film de long métrage accompagné d’une déclaration artistique
This multimodal thesis is about losing count, entering into another kind of time, besides the beat, besides meter. This research examines rhythm as it is used by street circus performers during their performances, training, and in their everyday lives. It is the result of five months of fieldwork in Palermo, Sicily with circus performers working in rope, aerial straps, juggling, clowning, and flying trapeze. Because the circus is a visual, sonic, bodily, and sensorial experience, this research is grounded in an anthropology of the senses, focusing on how the senses – hearing, seeing, feeling – can transform the body and social relations. It describes what a circus body knows through rhythm. To represent this sensorial knowledge, this multimodal project is composed of a written thesis as well as a feature-length film with an accompanying artist statement
