Few words about the Company Poc (Cie Poc)

A different approach on juggling The Cie POC has been founded in 2011 by Frédéric PERANT, allias Fred Cie POC, with the ambition of a different approach on juggling and on its relation to magic and music. A juggling led more by simplicity, proximity and musicality than technics and performance.

A juggling that gives life to the characters, their world and emotions ... that mingles with other arts : magic, dance, body percussion, music ... to surprise, experiment, and attempt to renew.

Since 2011, the Cie Poc played almost 500 shows in around 20 countries : Argentina, Korea, UK, Spain, China, France, Portugal, Italy, Russia, Lithuania, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Taiwan ...

Frederic PERANT, allias "Fred Cie Poc" received several awards for his work on magic: Mandrake d'Or 2013, Golden Magic 2015 (Russia) ...

The work of the Cie POC is recognise and supported by many partners DRAC - Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication / Conseil Régional de Bretagne / Conseil Départemental Côtes d’Armor / Spectacle Vivant en Bretagne / SPEDIDAM / Le Fourneau Centre National des Arts de la Rue Bretagne / Le Carré Magique Pôle National des Art du Cirque, Lannion etc.

Fred Cie POC : Artistic director Frédéric has been a juggler, object manipulator and musical gesture performer for over 15 years. He has gradually built up his own vision of juggling which is both aesthetic and surprising and for which he has drawn upon his experience as a street performer. Through his encounters, magic has become part of his world and the natural catalyst essential to this alchemy.

With his favourite objects – bouncing balls and hats – and after years of experimentation, Frédéric creates, for the first time in 2011, his own shows.

• Rebondissement (n° visuel -8 min- création 2011)

• Bobby & moi (spectacle de rue - 25 min - création 2011).

He presents us with an innovative juggling where performance, the impact of a cabaret act and the accessibility and sincerity of street performing all come together.

Percussive Juggling and music : a practice where we look at music and listen to movement...

His first research to put the juggler as a musician started in 2011 with a first test of an acoustic performance, combining body-percussion and bounce-juggling in a box. Fred sees a new horizons in his practice.

BPM 2.1, appears logiccaly as the second stage of his research on musicality of juggling, a « new » discipline, that combines body-percussion and bounce-juggling.

Not just a juxtaposition but a real combination of both disciplines, incorporating bounces, shots and trajectories of balls in musical composition and body-percussion choreography. This work put the juggler as a real musician, and his objects as real instruments... including body.

• 2015 : BPM 2.1 (street version - 50 min - 2015) / 2016 : BPM 2.1 (version salle - 55 min - 2016)

REBONDISSEMENT...

Bouncing, Hat and Magic Visual show – 8 min -

More than a juggling act, « Rebondissement » is a magic potion which takes us into an offbeat universe which is both sensitive and funny.

The waltz begins and a different world is revealed in which an astonishing character lives with his juggling balls and his hat.

Performance and precision, comedy and magic, humour and poetry. A clever mix with a surprising and effective result !

BOBBY & MOI Juggling, magic and music

- 25’ –

A juggler encounters a musician’s voice and while the record plays, they tease and get to know each other, letting us have a glimpse into their worlds.

The two soloists play off each other and form an unlikely duo of complete understanding and tenderness.

A show with lots of mischief, where balls play hide-and-seek, hats fly off, objects and music notes entwine…

A walk strewn with surprises in a universe of tenderness, full of magic and poetry…

"A table, a chair, a coat stand and a case… a record sleeve. We wait. He comes alone, smiles and invites us in. He opens the record player case and carefully places the record on the turntable… Bobby arrives on stage. Irresistable, spellbinding, his voice fills the air. A knowing look, a hat flies off and the game begins… The visual accompanies the music, the music accompanies the visual. Both men oscillate between duo and dual, one juggling with notes, the other with objects. Both enjoy themselves and share the fun with us. Just like a break from the ordinary, a break with rhythm, with a smile, all in good cheer. Time stands still, and we just feel good… spectators to this pulsating relationship which is alive and breathing as long as the LP record is playing, and then… disappears."

BPM 2.1 - Juggling Concert-

- 2015/2016–

At the junction between musical theater, musical choreography and rhythmic experiene, BPM 2.1 is a concert out of time where we look at music and listen to movement... where juggling becomes percussion and comes into music…

A concert for 2 body-percussionnists-jugglers, 1 flutist-saxophonist-tablist… 3 musicians, passionate about rhythm, who juggle from Idian Rap to Steve Reich minimalist, funk and electro….

A visual and musical travel where the musicians complicity prevails on performance, where falls have the same importance as virtuosity.

FISM 2012 and Blackpool Magic Convention :

« ...As is always the case – the juggler is guaranteed to steal the show – and this was no exception. Compagnie Poc from France had the magicians clamouring for more with an incredible hat juggling and ball sequence that saw the Opera House rise to its feet. Distinctly European, he was an inspired choice for magic weary conjurors.... » GENII Magazin http://forums.geniimagazine.com/viewto-pic.php?t=39680

«... Como es siempre - el caso el malabarista es garantizado que se roba el show – y esta no fue la ex-cepción.

«... Fred Compagnie Poc the sedentary juggler who stormed the Blackpool Convention Gala last Fe-bruary, repeated his triumph, getting a partial standing ovation for his incredibly precise ball boun-cing skills.

Bobby & moi :

"As touching as impressive in his total control of juggling, Poc enters on stage. After having preciou-sly launched his vinyl on the turntable, he plays a breathtaking show, playing with the bouncings of the balls and the theft of the hats. The gravity is universal, and the show of a real beauty." Pic Nic on the Bridge - Le fourneau report – National Center for Street Art

"This guy should be borned with a ball on top of each finger and 5 hats on his head. He manipulates each other with a precision that is magic. And in perfect synchronization with the vinyle turning on its turntable. " Festival Les Rias

« Bobby and the juggling poet – a show with a lovely musicality, poetic with a good rythm… » Cha-rente Libre – Jacques Patorozzi director of Coup de Chauffe Cognac festival

« 30 minutes with the virtuoso of the vocal art Bobby McFerrin and a magic juggler who enjoys his complicity with the portrait of the singer put on his musical trunk. He juggles with notes, melon hats, balls ... with a breathtaking dexterity. Everything is flexible, everything is magical. No false notes, or almost. And when they happen the smile never leaves the juggler! » Festival Les Tombées de La Nuit – Rennes http://alter1fo.com/
