Cie kraD's first creation "Arachnur" is a fusion of contemporary circus and noise with a strong penchant towards the obscure. In a universe of ropes and cables, the audience discovers a body caught under the weight of life, revealing its slow struggle towards a metaphorical suicide. It is a visceral dive into the abyss of the human soul through acoustic borderline and dark imagery. A sort of macabre ritual, reflecting (on) despair and the harrowing loop of dark thoughts; an embodiment of a mental crawl towards the gallows. "Arachnur" is beyond evil or good, definitely cathartic, but nevertheless poetic. An ongoing hymn to the dark and what lays within it, inspired by the quote of the painter Pierre Soulages: "Mon instrument n'était plus le noir, mais cette lumière secrète venue du noir. " (My instrument was no longer the dark, but the secret light that came from the dark).
