What is blue and far more precious than gold?
For this third play for young audiences, we are continuing the reflection begun with The Dense Forest (2013) and Mirages – boreal souls (2018), on ecology in the broadest sense, with a particular interest in interaction with nature, and the challenges of transforming the planet.
This time, the subject of water will be at the heart of the writing process: water, that blue gold that runs through our bodies and the earth, indispensable to life.
This water, joyful, clear, pure and free, strong, loved and abused, which is contaminated by our ever more thirsty lifestyles… This water that overflows, floods and becomes increasingly scarce, until it disappears.
Young audience – season 25/26
3 performers
Choreography Christian & François Ben Aïm
Writing and dramaturgy Mariette Navarro

“big” questions, exposing the everyday and the ordinary in the form of parables. Our aim is to seize on reality by diverting it with touches of absurdity and fantasy, and in the process, poetically question its meaning.
To compose this script, we’d like to draw inspiration from different geographical realities and interweave different stories to define an imaginary reality.
A desert in my kitchen? could be anything from the abracadabrantesque journey of an empty glass in search of water in the kitchen of an old man who has never cried, to a sip of water flowing from hollow to hollow in a hand-to-hand duet, in a world without water, to 3 children playing as if there were, to the ballet of a rain dance where shadows emerge from a world suddenly invaded by mist…
