Chroniques
Premiere: Théâtre National de Nice-CDN Nice Côte d’Azur, Nice, 04/06/2025
About this event
Chroniques is a project that explores the fluidity of time and human consciousness through a mythological narrative that intertwines reality, legends, and perceptions. Five figures are trapped in a temporal maze, mutating and colliding in an attempt to defy immortality. Their existence takes place in a vast sulfuric landscape, unfolding in a series of chronicles. Is this landscape the ground for new creations, or made out of remnants of what once existed? Confronted with different laws and physical phenomena, their bodies reveal other behaviours and possibilities of being, without knowing if they are at the twilight or dawn of their existence. We are witnessing a bodily metamorphosis in an abyssal and poetic dimension. Through the relationship between humans and nature, this work explores liminality and transformation, seeking new forms of community, coexistence and interaction.
