CAPRA (une chèvre)

In CAPRA (a goat), Jeanne Candel and her collaborators invite to step inside the belly of a poet, just as one might enter the hidden and fragmented landscapes of creation. We dive into her chaos using the theatre as a vast experimental laboratory where everything flows between music, machinery, poetry, the bodies of the actors and actresses, costumes and set design. The artists alternately become storytellers, stagehands and performers, composing a heterogeneous, handcrafted palace of memory—a blend of the stories that shape us, ancient myths and echoes of the world—playing with the power of imagination and the paths of memory.

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