Nous les vagues

"Nous les vagues" by Mariette Navarro deploys a poetics of insurrection through an anonymous chorus embodying a crowd in revolt against the established order, structured in five movements evoking the ebb and flow of waves. This prophetic text explores the symbolic "break-in" of a collective investing spaces of power to "burglarize ideas, files" and redefine the future, blending lyricism and political engagement in a fluid form that anticipates contemporary social movements.

"Les Célébrations", a complementary piece, questions collective rituals in a mode that is both critical and dreamlike, extending the reflection on the "we" through situations where the everyday tips into the extraordinary. The work stands out for its formal audacity (eschewing individual characters in favor of a polyphonic chorus), its poetic language with aquatic and igneous metaphors, and its ability to grasp political urgency while avoiding Manichaeism. It stands out as a benchmark of contemporary theater, at the crossroads of the intimate and the collective, where action becomes both conflagration and song of hope.
