A work presented during the European Cultural Season in France (1st of July- 31st of December)
Edward Albee’s searing play about a couple who autopsy their hellish marriage in front of their bemused ‘friends’ makes ideal artistic fodder for De KOE.
The Flemish company's shows strive to highlight the gap between appearance and reality by toying with the rules of representation.
Their mantra appears to be that art is starring life in the face.

Sur tes traces

Theatre

The piece takes us a road-trip in the form of a double portrait involving two destinies, namely those of Gurshad Shaheman born in Iran, and Dany Boudreault in Quebec. Authors, directors and performers, the two artists got to know each other in Europe. Here, each of them sets off in search of their respective pasts.

Marion Duval
Cécile

TheatrePerformance

Certain encounters are life-changing. This piece is about Marion Duval's encounter with Cécile Laporte, an activist and author to whom she has decided to dedicate a show. The resulting 'truth-performance' is an inspiring one and enables us to embrace the unbearable complexity of the world in a light-hearted way.
