Il est interdit de vieillir

The problem of aging is the main theme of this show under the banner of the curious injunction of a great Jewish sage, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov: "Il est interdit de vieillir!".

What does he mean? Giving up dreams? The narrowing of desires? A broken body leading to the defeat of thought, the wasting away of imagination? Being assigned to a role, that of the old person who should stay in their place. But then what is their place in today's society? Believing we have nothing more to learn, that it is no longer for our age? Refusing to make declarations of love? Fearing the unexpected like the plague? Standing one's ground like an old general who always applies the same strategies and will obviously be defeated? Fleeing youth and novelty?
