NEW CREATION : C LA VIE

Nine performers get together on stage – a public square where anything can happen, and nothing gets lost. During this rite of initiation, they invite us to witness the disappearing of the old world. There is no initiation without the experience – no matter how temporary – of an unstable world.

This story does not feature a long series of trials nor a hero who needs to overcome them, but rather one major challenge: how can we exist together? The core of the rite of initiation that is C la vie is Encounter – with music, with each other, with reality, with time, with the planet, with loved ones, etcetera. The only thing that counts is the occurrence of the encounter and the attempt to connect with the world.

C la vie is not about filling a void, but about showing the multitude of possibilities for togetherness as an antidote to our current world, which sinks into its own destruction …
