Les aveugles

Everything begins with the space and the audience’s perceptions, as a way to create new forms of storytelling. It's about crafting theatrical experiences that engage with the pressing issues of our societies and invite us to imagine new possibilities. It places great care on immersion in a constant effort to blur the boundary between fiction and reality. Driven by a commitment to ongoing artistic innovation, it seeks to break free from theatrical conventions while placing strong emphasis on creating sensitive and collective experiences.
