The show is currently sold out. Information for the waiting list opposite.
With humour and poetry, "Dimanche" depicts a portrait of humanity completely out of step with its time, gripped by the chaos of climate change.
With their globally acclaimed production Dimanche, Focus & Chaliwaté developed a humorous, always startling and moving performance. Movement art, figure and object theatre, theatre and video are combined uniquely. Carefully composed down to the smallest detail, the artists create a visual and poetic language that arises from dealing with what is not ordinary in everyday life.
A small family try to go about their daily routines on their Sunday in order to maintain a sense of normality, despite the chaos of an ecological collapse; while three travelling nature filmmakers do their best to document the apocalypse outside. Interdisciplinary top-class theatre using almost all the varieties of stage art, whilst managing entirely without language.
From 10 years old.
The show is currently sold out. Waiting list available at Théâtre Les Tanneurs from 7pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; from 6pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays; and from 2pm when the performance is at 3pm.
