Comme des bruissements
— Adult Production

Un cri de ralliement pour allumer les feux de l’action

Coproduced by Voyageurs immobiles, Cie de création and Théâtre Rouge Écarlate, in collaboration with Théâtre de la Vieille 17.

SYNOPSIS

Combining activist narratives, poetic gestures, and moments of sharing, Comme des bruissements is a multisensory theatrical experience that uses  the stage as a space for transformation and social engagement. Song and music weave together the threads of memory, healing, and resistance, while the simmering soup symbolizes solidarity, witchcraft, and feminine power.

The work is presented like an onion. At its heart is the show, where a community forms for the duration of a performance, carried by artists from various backgrounds. Around it are Nos cabanes: an immersive sound installation that invites visitors to listen intimately to committed voices, nestled in colorful shelters. And then there is the ephemeral Tiers-Lieu : a living space hosting civic activities; moments of exchange, of sharing knowledge and experiences.
Through the different layers of Comme des bruissements, one question resonates: how can we transform the murmur of individual concerns into a clamor of hope and collective action?

For an adult audience, ages up to 16. 

Running time: 75 minutes
