VIOLENCES ET INSTITUTIONS
A first creation exposes the rites of a prehistoric war, conjuring war before wealth and class society.
The second turns to the history of chivalry, from courtly love to Francis of Assisi’s passion for “Lady Poverty”, and considers the use of the individual’s violence against the self, in the context of the rapid development of class society in the High Middle Ages.
The third creation takes on a contemporary aspect of violence and addresses the “Years of Lead”, specifically the use of violence against class society.
The fourth creation sets its subject in the present and seeks to represent the violence that a society of exclusion exercises over its poorest members. This last creation is based on the example of Marseille.
A prologue to the tetralogy, L'habitude, is premiered at the Wiener Festwochen festival (AT) from 8 to 11 June 2018.
