The King’s Fools !

The King’s Fools !
K3MK Company | Karry Kamal Karry

The King’s Fools ! is a multidisciplinary project by Karry Kamal Karry, for six performers inspired by La Folie de Dieu. From the struggle of the three monotheisms by Peter Sloterdijk.

"In our minds we create existences like heroes, kings, gods or clowns. They are unbearably strong, malicious, cynical, witty and passionate, in wonderfully strange or terrible places. In my staging, I simply try to choreograph the scene of this ongoing process of debate and negotiation, with all its particularities."  

In this composition, Karry Kamal Karry represents, through the grotesque, the deformed and the decadent, parallel worlds: the reverse of things. He brilliantly plays with contrasts, perspectives and the dancers' bodies.

Karry Kamal Karry draws his inspiration from artistic creation throughout the ages. He can refer to Renaissance painting and Flemish masters such as Jerome Bosch, to contemporary pop culture: from the works of Mike Kelly to the films of David Lynch, or to comic books and the absurd logic of science fiction. All of this is set against a backdrop of Freudian psychoanalytical theories reminiscent of the 20th century surrealists. The King’s Fools ! play on the fragmentation of scenes that the spectator thinks he recognises, as they draw on the unconscious by combining styles of the past with a fiction of today.

The refore, whether The timeless strangeness dictates The King’s Fools !

"Directing is extremely intimate, it's like presenting your soul on a stage", admits Karry Kamal Karry.
This honesty and intimacy, which can be found in The King’s Fools ! and in each of his shows, confirms his explanation that he stages the ultimate human story. Karry Kamal Karry is not afraid to make himself vulnerable, and in the end he succeeds in capturing the whole of human vulnerability: a performance that is constantly reincarnated, a theatre of operations and form, of fantasy and dream.they are performed by a male-female, female-female, male-male couple or all three together, it represents for me a shadow of that shadow, a copy of the copy, an artificial image of reality."   Karry Kamal Karry
