Performance

La Parabole du Seum

On the venue's site

An artist associated with the TPM, where she has already presented several of her pieces, the author, performer and director Rébecca Chaillon returns with her performative theatre, in which bodies that defy diktats become narratives and forces of transformation.

In La Parabole du Seum, the sky is both the place from which catastrophes fall - hurricanes, floods, so-called "natural" disasters - which always reveal the same fault lines, and the new territories of Western imperialism. But if the sky is saturated and fragmented, what space remains for projecting our beliefs and hopes? Neither programme nor consolation, the piece composes a funny and fierce parable to let the soul breathe, in which imagination and humour become acts of resistance.
