MAD ! I promise you the rebel forest

Joséphine Serre has faith in the power of stories, in their capacities to transform reality. The author of Data Mossoul, a dystopia that questions the way we transmit our History, continues here her demanding and generous work. MAD ! Je te promets la forêt rebelle starts from a political fact, that of the death of the young Rémi Fraisse in 2014 on the ZAD of Sivens, after an assault by the gendarmerie. Joséphine Serre proposes a fable rooted in our myths and collective memories. It is the story of a sister who learns of the death of her brother and who wants to understand. It is the story of one of the first dead in Europe of the water war. It is the story of an anger – that of the author, that of her character – which draws its strength from the love of life and the capacity to believe that we can collectively do better. This rich and complex narrative, where times and characters overlap, is told as simply as possible: the four actors direct the stage management from the stage, generate before our eyes an epic and wonderful tale. We are invited to enter the forest with them. An initiatory crossing that sends us back to our personal ethics: do we support a world dominated by extractivism or do we courageously seize our existences to invent a future where the living has its place? /!\ The show is ambulatory: a part of it is watched standing up, but chairs will be available for people who need them. An alternative route by elevator is also planned for people with reduced mobility. Nevertheless, we advise you to contact us to best prepare for your visit.
