IJK, the title shows i, j and k vectors of the three dimensions, in the space geometry.
IJK, is a volume, the volume of the stage, the volume in which is going to appear a movement and the writing of the movement follows here a logic of juggling.
Juggling of objects, where several volumes, parallelepipeds, are placed on the stage, and where the whole is conceived to be displaced, manipulated, as principal accessory of the actor. Its movement generates changes of space and makes us think of the Cubes Game of Oskar Schlemmer.
Juggling of bodies, where the three actors, two boys and one girl like in The Triadic Ballet, are using cubes as support and base of their movements and invest the inside of these volumes for an acrobatic research in confined spaces.
Juggling of balls finally, where the research is guided by the sound produced by balls when they bounce on and inside the cubes. This approach reveals the rhythmic and musical character of juggling. Here the acoustic volume is placed on the front.
With the fabrication of a music, IJK is akin to the idea of musical spectacle dear to the Bauhaus feasts, and also the idea of the burlesque actor. The graphics of lights which resumes in flat and widely the volumes present on stage places IJK at the meeting point between these two poles: between abstract art and the humour of the absurd.
