Shéda

In the desert of earth and stone that is the Carrière de Boulbon, beings appear from nowhere who have fallen, but as Michel Foucault said: "You can fall off a mountain and get back up alive These beings come from elsewhere, where they were undoubtedly powerful, intelligent, adapted to the world around them. Perhaps they are fallen gods. Whatever the case, they present themselves to us as men and women, sometimes human shadows, who come to speak the sounds of the world, of fear and solitude. They are there to name the past so as to be able to live the present, to continue to exist by affirming their fragility, in this battlefield that is life. Monologues, dialogues, direct addresses to the audience: their words fill the space of the quarry, amplified by music and song. Here, the story doesn't matter as such: it's the power of the speaker that's essential. JFP (Festival d'Avignon 2013)
