Je prends feu trop souvent

Faun/ve_ is an ode to the power of adolescence, to the power of transformation and mutation that emerges during this period.

The faun is the bearer of a prestigious heritage: a poem by Mallarmé, a symphonic work by Debussy, a choreographic piece by Nijinsky. But who is this faun, half-animal and half-human? What does he have to say to us about the outpourings that sometimes stir within us? What torments, dilemmas and questions does he express? And what can we say about the many metamorphoses it echoes?

This performance, aimed at (pre-)teenagers, is designed to reflect the bubbling energy of the wild beast, to embrace the animality that inhabits us and sometimes haunts us.
