Synopsis

Some children are playing in the country where everything starts. They are discovering the world while they transform their universe. They imitate their elders, bravely and audaciously. They feel able to love despite not knowing the real meaning. They fall out with each other even if they have not found yet the word “hate” in their pockets. They are already familiar with the meaning of the skin, smell, caress, neglect, refuge, and desire. However, they know nothing about what time is.

For all publics from 7 years – Gestural theater

Suddenly, over sixty years have gone.

Now, aged, they take hundred of words out from their pockets which are dropped as if they were withered leaves. They know about skin, smell, caress, neglect, refuge, desire. And, paradoxically, they have no doubt about falling out with each other even though they already know the real meaning of love. They are familiar with what time is. What they do not know is that love can always give us an opportunity.

AMOUR is an ambitious challenge that pretends to value the plays than can either adults or children enjoy, so that it can be a place where emotions, thoughts, doubts and certainties are shared. Adults’ plays for children and children’s plays for adults.
