RésuméCette étude traite plusieurs œuvres autonomes par l’artiste et diaboliste Julian Vogel dans une collection intitulée CHINA SERIES. À partir de l’analyse de plusieurs de ces « variations », nous nous proposons d’appréhender les moyens permettant au jonglage de rendre compte des continuités ontologiques entre humain et non-humain. En s’inscrivant dans le sillage de travaux qui, depuis plusieurs approches dites « écothéâtrales », instiguent actuellement en France des articulations fécondes entre enjeux écologiques et arts de la scène, nous mobilisons des appareillages théoriques complémentaires à ceux récemment développés dans le champ des études circassiennes depuis des écrits néo-matérialistes. Pour ce faire, nous mettons à l’épreuve depuis le jonglage une hypothèse d’Emma Mebaret, selon laquelle l’attention peut constituer le critère écologique d’une réalité scénique autre, façonnée dans le but de constituer des figurations alternatives à la centralité humaine. Notre étude se focalise sur la façon dont Julian Vogel met en valeur certaines qualités poétiques, plastiques et contemplatives d’rendent possible l’examen de milieux où des This article considers several different works of varying genres and lengths made into a collection by the artist and diabolist Julian Vogel in a collection entitled CHINA SERIES. Through the analysis of several of these “variations,” I propose to consider how juggling accounts for ontological continuities between the human and non-human. By responding to “ecotheatrical” works from France that create productive articulations between ecological stakes and the performing arts, I mobilize theatrical apparatuses inspired by the influence of neo-materialist writing on the field of circus studies. I use juggling to test the hypothesis of Emma Mebaret that attention can constitute an ecological criterion of a stage reality Other. This Other is made with the intention of creating alternative figurations to human centrality. This study concentrates on two principal aesthetic and ecocentric strategies which permit juggling to happen: on one hand, the making of new equipment; on the other, the production of new attachements (Hache). Thus, I will first consider the way in which Julian Vogel focuses on certain poetic, plastic and contemplative qualities of porcelain objects that constitute the cups of his diabolos. Then, I will consider how the deployment of his variations as a sort of performance laboratory allows for the study of an environment where currents cross, envelop and impact the bodies that emerge inside and alongside elements with heterogeneous lifestyles and life cycles.
