5 seconds

Catherine Benhamou / Marie-Paule Kumps Ages 14 and up [ Duration: 1h10 ] When you look at things very closely, they start to tremble, you realize that they are not at all what you thought. Trembling cannot be said. It has nothing to do with words which are only noises. That day, instead of staying like every day locked in his room with the shutters closed, the young man wanted to go out, to walk in the city, and why not take the RER to go see a bit of green, maybe a bit of forest? That day, she is in the RER, standing, with her baby screaming in her arms. Tired. At the time when people return home after a day of work. Catherine Benhamou signs a poetic, moving, and punchy text, freely inspired by a news item. She crosses the distress of a mother on the edge of the precipice with the rout of a young man in social dropout. 5 Seconds paints the portrait of two young adults in imbalance. Two adults who were not told that they contained treasures. What do we do when we don't fit into the "right" boxes? What do the shrinks say? The educators? The police? The justice system? What do our mothers bequeath to us? And our fathers? What user manuals did they give us? 5 Seconds is an uppercut. Right in the ribs. It is also an enthusiastic show, which sets in motion. A show that invites agency, wakes it up, digs it up. Music that shakes in the noise. A light that points in the cold. MEETING – Thu February 11 after the performance.
