CAPRA (une chèvre)

In Antiquity, to remember stories, the ancients would use mnemonic devices based on places and images. They used their imagination to build memory palaces that would withstand time and forgetfulness. This art has endured throughout the ages, allowing people to remember and pass on stories, or to survive when faced with horror. 
Starting from the myth of Dionysus, this ambiguous god who is said to have created theatre, Jeanne Candel and her accomplices celebrate the unbridled strength of the human spirit and create mini-tragedies on the spot. In this joyful back-and-forth between bodies, musical instruments, and the machinery of theatre, we all end up getting lost, to our greatest delight.

고대 신화에서 영감을 받은 잔 칸델과 그의 동료들은 인간 정신의 거침없는 힘을 찬미하며 무대 위, 즉석에서 찰나의 비극들을 빚어낸다.
