Timber
Cie Still Life/Sophie Linsmaux & Aurelio Mergola
- Visual theater
With "Timber", the Cie Still Life invests the forest as a theatrical playground. A haven outside the mainstream, a wilderness between utopias and nightmares. Today, the forest is under threat, and the soil can crumble away at any time.
* Timber : the warning cry uttered by the woodcutters before the tree falls.
Performance programmed as part of the Ici Bruxelles focus pro.
