Behind this strange title lies a story of enigmas – little sketches put together, oddities that sublimate the banal to "get closer to the splendour of life". Lionel Dray and Clémence Jeanguillaume borrowed this phrase from Kafka, which dictates the writing of his Ainsi la Bagarre, featuring a transposition of short stories and episodes from the life of the Prague-based writer into aphorisms. Set to a composition that blossoms at the heart of Clémence Jeanguillaume's electronic musical machinery, Ainsi la Bagarre takes its character on a journey through absurd tableaux full of snags that he avoids with a Tati-like wiggle or with impassive Keaton-like acrobatics. Here and there, odes to Chris Marker or Dali that you’ll recognise or guess, divert your thoughts towards an unexpected gem… You’ll laugh, you’ll be afraid, you’ll be lost. Ainsi la Bagarre guides you in the footsteps of Kafka with a tightrope walker spirit that knows no path, very precisely beside reality, to the right of the anonymous, to the left of the invisible, in the hidden side of the banal, where it shines.
