Tender anger

Tender anger starts from a state of stupefaction in the face of the world. What can we do when meaning no longer exists? When the destruction of living things and the wandering of humanity seem inescapable?

To revolt, to unite, to console, to go to war: these are all avenues open to the individual when he turns his dismay towards the group. The result is a troubling alchemy in which individual wills surrender to the collective, intoxicated by its fraternal and consoling power, letting themselves be carried beyond themselves to find yet another reason to exist. Even if it means tilting at windmills.

Tender anger is an invitation to act, to find ourselves, to reinvent ourselves together. A powerful piece, addressed to each and every one of us by ten virtuoso performers.
