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.
