Inspired by Shakespeare’s King Lear, Testament probes intergenerational relationships.
The three female actors have invited their own fathers onstage to play paternal roles. The text intertwines personal thoughts and social and economical considerations about ageing and inheritance. Involving videos and live singing, Testament is a candid dialogue on a problematic reconciliation.

Mohamed El Khatib
La vie secrète des vieux

Theatre
Buy tickets

Mohamed El Khatib furthers his passion for documentary theatre by tackling a subject that he brings from out of the shadows, namely that of eroticism and the love lives of “oldies”. Put together in a daring yet tender way, his new piece explores this theme from the perspective of desire, thereby going against the usual connotations associated with old age.

Music

The music of Jérôme Combier opens up the way we listen to the details of the world and their subtle mutations. Poetic, and punctuated by mysterious outbursts, his music celebrates a plasticity which in turn shapes its instrumental and electronic elements. Strands, his latest work, sets up relationships between the animal and plant worlds, weaving spider's web-like threads between.
