Entre chiens et louves

Entre chiens et louves plunges us into a sweeping historical epic that reveals the intimate lives of three characters living in different eras: 1870, 1960, and 2022. Tracing their journeys, the piece becomes a remarkable excursion through time, reaching up to the present day, and evokes the collective memories that shape who we are—memories filled with revolts and movements of emancipation that still divide us today.

A powerful reflection on the human condition, the work paints a world full of hope and bodies in motion, while bringing into the spotlight those who have been forgotten, waiting only to be reborn. Conceived like a film in which scenes unfold one after another, it opens the stage to eight virtuosos who take us on an epic adventure where comedy, spectacular acrobatics, and dance intertwine, passionately celebrating a humane and united society.
