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.
