Gestural Theatre All audiences, as of 11 years old

We should be dancing

Emilienne Flagothier

After having filmed very small children in squares, five actors reproduce their movements identically, generated by the devouring curiosity and the unquenchable thirst to learn and play.

Observing the abyss that separates the inventive bodies of toddlers from our serious, useful and precise adult gestures, the quintet wonders where our taste for adventure and experimentation has gone.

An experimental-comic docu-drama about creative power, joy and freedom.
