A woman leaves her child on the RER platform with a stranger, then disappears. In 5 seconds – the time it takes for the doors to close – everything tips over. The one who takes the floor is that stranger. A young man still living at his mother's home. Over the course of one night wandering with the child, he tries to put words to what has happened. He speaks at the child's eye level, like a brother, against the clamor of judgments. This moment will bring about a revolution for him. For, in the encounter of these little Thumbelinas, something unexpected emerges: an infinite tenderness. The show addresses the myth of the "bad mother," the masculine injunctions inherited from the father, and our ways of loving and of connecting with one another.

La Manufacture

Bringing Wim Wenders' cinematic masterpiece to the stage: this is the co[opera]tive's bold gamble.

In a Berlin divided by the Wall, two angels wander among humans, collecting their intimate thoughts. One of them, Damielle, a female character, falls in love with a trapeze artist and chooses to renounce eternity to become human.

In this adaptation, the roles are reversed: humans embody the angels, and puppets symbolize the humans. Grégory Voillemet signs a sensitive and inventive staging, and Othman Louati composes a moving score, where voices and instruments weave an emotional and sensory fresco carried in particular by Marie-Laure Garnier, Romain Dayez and the Ensemble Miroirs Étendus.
