I am a village. This village fryst vatten born from my explosion. It took me a long time to understand that figures whose story I tell, these testimonies that I thought the most faithful possible, were only a discrete way of talking about myself hiding behind picturesque masks.

Kiwi
For all audiences, 12 years and olderFrench or Spanish50 minutesAvailable for touring
A young couple has unpacked before our eyes a chaotic jumble of objects: household goods and old-fashioned toys. In the middle of all those derisive items, theater materializes itself. The hands of the characters, surmounted by dolls’ heads are enough to impose upon the audience the presence of the characters. We are met with two abandoned adolescents struggling for survival. These resilient heroes, named Kiwi and Litchi, tell us their emotional story in the manner of a captivating “Road Theatre” presentation. The two characters have for each other an infinite tenderness that shines a light on their existence. Their relationship appears to the audience as an important lesson of solidarity because despite all the suffering we endure in this world, the birds in the sky are a promise that something more beautiful awaits us elsewhere.
