Partnership with France Culture
Le vrai spectacle is a new step in Joris Lacoste’s approach of hypnosis as an art, following Au Musée du sommeil in 2009.
He creates a space fit for a collective reverie, by working specifically on the light and sound design.
The show demonstrates that hypnosis has a lot to do with theatrical performance, involving the audience in the mechanisms of storytelling.
In the same place
Kurō Tanino Maître obscur
In what ways does the unstoppable development of artificial intelligence (AI) permeate our lives and behaviour? Kurō Tanino, playwright of the poetry of our everyday lives and the imperceptible movements of the psyche, brings to the stage a world in which technology reveals the depths of our unconscious.
Katerina Andreou Bless This Mess
The choreographer Katerina Andreou draws upon the constant confusion and noise of the world as the driving force in this her first group piece. Playfulness, absurdity, fiction and poetry arise from within this mental and emotional state.
Satoko Ichihara Yoroboshi: The Weakling
Taking his inspiration from traditional Japanese forms, playwright and director Satoko Ichihara brings us a puppet theatre for today's world. It is a troubled one, in which the story revolves around the ambiguous nature of the dolls. In this modern tale, loneliness, suffering and sexuality are the driving forces behind these puppets the various weaknesses of which makes them ever more human.
Marcus Lindeen Memory of Mankind Conceived with Marianne Ségol
By reconstituting four perfectly extraordinary, but very real, stories Marcus Lindeen and Marianne Ségol raise questions about the notion of memory. Their unique form of theatre, in which spoken words of a personal nature are exchanged and feed off each other, is scrupulously crafted and philosophical in equal measure.
Alice Laloy Le Ring de Katharsy
There are no puppets in this large-scale new work by puppeteer Alice Laloy. Instead, we encounter humans which have been transformed into avatars and then thrown into a ring In order to compete in increasingly violent matches. This mise en abyme, at the frontier between wrestling-inspired ritual and video game scenario, invites us to question the limits of a society which simply follows orders.
