Un jour nous serons humains

A woman holds her hands in front of her and says: “One day I will be human”, a sentence David Léon first heard in a psychiatric hospital. The enigma that is that sentence, its power, triggered the writing of a text whose title is its plural form: Un jour nous serons humains (One Day We Will Be Human). This “we” is the meeting of Hélène Soulié, David Léon, and Emmanuel Eggermont, who decided to invite young actress Marik Renner in order to create an eight-handed performance, a quartet in which words, bodies present or absent, the singing of birds, and the rustle of their wings in the Jardin de la Vierge, combine to create a musical and scenic score. It is a call to Humans as well as to Animals. A call not to disappear, swallowed by the world. A call to find a name for that which cannot be named. A breath.
