It is said that blue was long imperceptible to the ancient Greeks: in the Iliad, Homer compares the color of the sea to that of wine... Later, it was only by naming it that they were able to distinguish it, although it had always permeated their horizon. Similarly, most men grow up by integrating into their child's armor the virtues expected "as a man". Since they were very small, this masculinity is the only score they are given: its codes, its rules, its injunctions — and which they play, without ever asking themselves where the script comes from. This show explores masculinity and its contradictions. Borrowing its splendor from the music hall, its simplicity from the trestles, seven young actors question the spectrum of masculine oppressions but also other ways of being together, liberating and collective. Lively, festive, and burning.
