Une Vie, là-bas - Théâtre de l'Imprévu.jpg

Five stages of a long journey...

How to talk to a child and comfort him

when faced with a complex and painful situation?

The story tells the journey of a Father and his Child, on the roads of a forced and uncertain exile.

Their objective: to join "the city 2.0", the city where everything will be better, the city of possibilities... The departure, precipitous and nocturnal, quickly gives way to transport, road and maritime difficulties. 

The Father, eager to reassure the Child, looks for apoetic escape. Flee the tangible by establishing a simple ritual:

"Every noon when the sun is at its zenith, when the stars align to give way to it»,

he will invent a story.

These little onestender and surprising tales, protective and paternal filters, punctuate the story and providehumorous and reassuring breaths.

Always trying to accept the unbearable, always and constantly… 

Until the day when both arrive at the gates of the city 2.0… where the poetic subterfuge is put to the test of reality. 

There remains one last hope: thanks to their creative forces, will the Father and the Child manage to touch the hearts of the inhabitants of the "city 2.0"?

Will the doors open?
