Entre chiens et louves plunges us into an epic across time, revealing the inner lives of three characters living in different eras: 1850, 1960, and today. By tracing their paths, the play offers a sensitive exploration of these collective memories that make up who we are, marked by revolts, impulses towards emancipation, and the fractures that, even today, run through us.

A true testimony to the human condition, the show outlines a world brimming with hope, bodies in motion, and brings into the light those whom history has cast into the shadows, but who yearn only to be reborn. Designed like a film whose scenes unfold sequentially, the stage opens up to eight virtuoso performers who sweep us into an epic adventure blending comedy, acrobatics, and dance. Alexandra Stréliski's music accompanies the dramaturgy like a living breath.

Her sensitive and cinematic writing weaves an organic link between bodies, eras, and emotions, giving the show an intimate and contemporary depth, while passionately magnifying the idea of a humane and united society.
