At the beginning, there's a solo created more than ten years ago for Antonin Lambert, solo that has been revived lots of times by many dancers from Serge Ricci's circle. Je n'ai pas voulu mourir mixes on stage pieces of this various soli, changed by the years and one's singularity.

What fascinated once again in Ricci's and sidekick's work, above the argument of the solo, is that we're not able to specify what we're seeing : everything is shifting.

Movings, darkness, bodies swallowed bay the dark, make our vision confused.

Simples journalpaper pieces and scotch-tape scraps evoke, helped by the light creation, animals skins, suit of armors, cosmonaut clothes... It's a real theater of illusions, a baroque and shimmering world, carried by lights who play with darkness, and a musical composition shifting and heterogeneous, which mixed guitar chords, electronic sounds, laughing og childs, wispering...
