Statement of intent
The initial idea is to place our creation in a dystopia where live performance is forbidden and where the profession of actor is considered illegal. It is a universe of unbridled consumption, governed by the laws of the market or having thrones, a soulless world that deprives humans of their shared emotions, their common stories, and their visceral need to tell their stories and reinvent themselves.
A theatre family united by their passion for poetry and theatre, fights to preserve their memories and heritage
Under the innocuous guise of a traveling tea room, their marquee is a sanctuary where memories and resistance intertwine. The audience, complicit and aware of the danger, slips into this refuge to taste the forbidden. Together, they recreate fragments of plays, monologues stolen from oblivion, and recall a time when art could still flourish unhindered.
This play is a celebration of theater as an act of resistance, an ode to the transmission of stories and the power of collective narratives. It asks a fundamental question: how can we save the beauty of texts and artistic gestures in the face of oppression?
In these times when fundamental freedoms are being severely tested, this piece aims to remind us that culture is essential to the survival of the human soul. It is a cry of love for living art, a plea for the imagination, and a tribute to all those who dare, despite the risks, to keep the flame of creation alive.
