The stage, the play area, ‘trembles’ here. A trembling area where we play with what is difficult to put into words, what is barely visible or impossible to represent. Clumsy and sensitive figures come together. In this (real and fantasized) landscape, the stone is white, the sea close by, and the sun harsh.
These people on the margins, broken and stubborn, almost make up a theatrical chorus. Taking advantage of the presence of a source of drinking water, they embark on a sort of ritual, together with the audience, a ritual whose materialization is fraught with pitfalls.
As the intuition of tragedy is rekindled, stories, memory and poetry are summoned to counter it.
After Des caravelles et des batailles, Éléna Doratiotto and Benoît Piret are continuing their exploration of sharp, singular theatre writing in the hope of deepening the evocative power of words and the freedom of acting. They take a path fractured by risks, punctuated by joyous surprises.
