Par autan

Par autan or the stage of a bygone theater traversed to the four winds, or perhaps the disheveled workshop of a craftsman whose scattered visions would come to life. The shows of the Théâtre du Radeau, a renowned European troupe whose latest opus is Par autan, are made up of this theatrical magic of conjuring up images and horizons with simple artifice and poetic memories. The rumor of poets, the piano next door, the fleeting fireflies of a philosopher, the gaze of the moon on the sleeping lake, dance and song on the fly, a comedy of music and palimpsest words... In the company of Walser, Kafka, Kleist, Chekhov, friendly words combine with the movements of set frames, compere glances, wind in the frills and musical tunes in a lively, comical and multifaceted tableau: a journey from Fellini's swerves to Dostoyevsky's intrigues, a happy wandering, an encounter like the autan, a sea wind from the south, wind of ancient mills and sorcerer, breeze or storm that is said to drive one mad.
