Mathurin Bolze / Les Hauts Plateaux

Ruins tell of exile and wars, as well as political and climate exoduses.

Lines of fragmentation and allegories of time, they mingle knowledge and imagination.

Ruins are the realm of the possible; they are ageless and contribute to the unity of times.

Through juxtaposition and contiguity, they embody the coexistence of eras.

While still smoking, they are the ferment of revolt, a source of insurrection and a representation of riots.

The sublimity of the ruin recreates something of the violence through which it came into being. The smoke of stories that immediately dissipate…

This entrance through ruins will bring us to our own boundaries, to the place of our fascination for the world that surrounds us and to which we contribute.
It is not ruins that we will see on our stage, however, but a construction site full of promise, that of human adventures through the ages, which last and create solidarities.

Poetic and acrobatic flights of fancy, which elegantly play with weightlessness.
