The poetic languages originating from La Ribot and Mathilde Monnier’s dancing and Tiago Rodrigues’ theater have initiated a dialogue staging and probing the visions of two generations faced with ecological urgency. On stage, two women talk to their sons and daughters about the future world, bear witness to its evolution and share their vibrant thoughts on a humanity on the road to ruin… A confession on what both of them could, managed to put into play in order to take care of or preserve their environment, but also on what they could not achieve – shortcomings, admissions of failure.
“For the bears to be able to live, for bees to keep living, for us to avoid the catastrophe, to keep believing”, to allow ourselves to dream…
And the children reply to them…
Please, listen to me!
Like doubles, Mathilde Monnier and La Ribot dance to stage this fragile transmission from one generation to another, embarking into a cockroach dance, for instance; like elves, they haunt the theater…
