Theatre-performance As of 14 years old FR

collusiion

First, stunt training: five performers test the impact, absorb the shock, rehearse putting themselves in danger. Then in the street, during a guided walk, the audience follows their path through the traps of the urban space. A collision may occur. Very real, or carefully staged?

Between reality and representation, between stage and street, public collusiion questions our relationship to images and empathy. Jérôme Michez blends inspirations, from blockbusters to food-delivery workers in the uberized economy. Often precarious and invisible to our accustomed eyes, they are nevertheless omnipresent and constantly exposed to impacts. What happens when the staging of an accident brings to light what our gaze refuses to confront?
