David Noir | Identities
My varied identities
In turn, author, director, set designer, actor, singer and performer of his own creations, David Noir has been working in the performing arts since 1986.
How many times and in how many forms will he have to do his Coming Out in his life?
Probably never enough
For the habit, even of apparent acceptance (starting with one's own acceptance of oneself) is the worst kind of cover.
Indeed, the pot is even more suffocating than the cupboard... well, well, well...

Like everyone else, David Noir learns about sexuality at a very early age through his imagination and about relationships with others through the experience of disappointment. He pursues the inconsistency of his path through a few exceptional encounters and many others, which are distressing. At first, his attraction, then his attraction that has now become irresistible for the intelligence of behaviour, the humour of scabrous situations and the simplicity of relationships with others, lead him to stage himself with his fellow travellers and intimates, in scenic compositions focused on nudity and playfulness, hilarious sexuality and warlike hatred, joyful despair and sensual friendship. So many answers that, in his eyes, make up a possible argumentation in the face of the despairing absurdity of our buffoonish condition. This frenzied quest for a childlike joy with a highly claimed irresponsibility, leads him to sink into the fantastic meanders of an isolation that is alternately depressive and euphoric, offering him every day the harvest of a dynamic contemporary creation, nevertheless plunging its roots in a telluric archaism. Since 2011, his collaboration with Anne Dreyfus and Le Générateur has once again opened him up to the charms of encounters and has decisively oriented his approach to the stage towards performative forms.
His main creations are The Puritans, The Righteous Story, The Innocents, Project Jazon and The Fleece sleeps which took a dozen forms, of which Les Parques d'attraction was the last. Since then, the cabaret A multitude of characters, sometimes from his performances, come to visit and revisit the strange universe of French variety music under unexpected aspects.
