Nuit sur le monde

2007-2009

Company Mossoux-Bonté
Theatre of fantasy and images, Nuit sur le monde is a triptych that evokes our relation to the ancestral, the contemporary and a hypothetical future.
Everything begins with the image of a bas-relief composed of figures that start moving, detaching themselves from the stone and the shadows… Abrupt falls, uncertain embraces, flows of movement interrupted: humanity unfolding in the doubt of its origins and the knowledge of its end.
The performance delves into the themes of vanity and the eternal return, blending different situations with a certain humour and distance. Dancers and actors dive into the dark night of the body – an opaque mystery that vibrates like an approaching storm.
