Lorraine de Sagazan confronts the undying subject of love with that of the era in which we live. Do we love today in the same way that we used to love twenty years ago? And what about a hundred years ago? What do we know about the younger generations? And what can theatre do in response to the pain of relationships?

In their latest creation, director Lorraine de Sagazan and author Guillaume Poix join forces with eight trainee actors from the Talents Adami Théâtre program. Each of them is in their early twenties. Each of them was selected from around 1,800 applicants. Each of them has contributed to the development of this play dedicated to the power of love, its history, idealization, how it manifests itself in today’s world and its alternatives. It throws light upon and questions how this new generation invents and conceives its relationship to desire, those around them, life as a couple, and freedom. Following on from Leviathan, A Rite and La Vie invisible, the duo of artists continues a body of work which blends encounter and interview, improvisation and devised material. At the crossroads between performance and the visual arts, their cathartic and utopian brand of theatre sets out to meet those of our expectations which everyday life, its norms and institutions have rendered unattainable.
