Presentation

Itinéraire sans fond(s) originally sprang from a desire to address the notion of exodus as a social phenomenon, to look at the idea of man when faced with his own psychological and physical uprooting and explore its nature, to pose fundamental questions about otherness and identity…. as well as underlining the human being’s prodigious aptitude for life.

In a remote place, with a couple of bare light bulbs, ten or so cans of food lie in the dimness. There, ten people with moonlike faces are all doing their very best to tell their own stories with the help of a few objects that they carry with them in shoeboxes, the only remaining vestiges of a lost era. We are elsewhere and everywhere at the same time. You will barely ever find out what they are escaping from, and maybe you won’t even understand as their reasons are so different and their experiences so disparate. But you will find yourself knee-deep in the middle of what they are living right at that moment, bringing with you your own doubts and illusions. Because throughout the performance, whether you like it or not, you are part of the journey.
