Cartoucherie de Vincennes & Théâtre du Soleil

Sometimes we want to stray from the norms of theatre, to find theatre that takes place in a world that we are not familiar with, a world that is abstract.

The Théâtre du Soleil is part of the larger group, La Cartoucherie, a complex of five theaters (Théâtre du Soleil, Théâtre de l'Aquarium, Théâtre de la Tempête, Théâtre de l'Epée de Bois, and the Théâtre du Chaudron) in a former munitions factory.  The resident director is the revered Ariane Mnouchkine.

 

The show is called Les Éphémères. Dans le désordre, In the disorder. The theme of the show is apocalyptic.

"This is a show that is made of moments that we have made.  We hope, we are sure, the moments that we have made are very close to the moments that you have made. That grief that we have experienced is very close to the grief that you experienced. That neglect that we suffered is close to that you suffered, and that our loves, our passions, our hopes are also yours."

Perhaps the show will challenge audience members to do more than observe.
