Automatically translated. Read the original French text.

A musical tale carried by 3 actresses and 3 live musicians for a complete poetic experience, inspired by real historical facts.

A space of expression for women's struggle through the prism of motherhood and the Inquisition period. A timeless message transmitted with heart strength and belly memory.

A single storyteller, three voices, to heal memories and let everyone take up the torch of struggle, not in a shout, but in a song. Returning their souls to witches who were not.

Asaël is on the verge of giving birth. Accompanied by her friend Mélisse, both find shelter in the middle of the woods, with Clarissa, a healer and seasoned matron.

Almost forgetting they are hunted by inquisitors, they will find an opening in their flight to share a moment of grace and confession, where personal stakes answer the dominating system reproaching them for being everything they are. But reality catches up with them...

Les Filles de Cendres is a theatrical play. A musical tale around the fire, in a timeless and poetic universe that has us follow the transformation of young Asaël. Together, they will face their fears and unite their strengths so that this child may come into the world and fulfill her destiny.

Conscious of the oppression around them, they make of this consuming fire the torch of a new hope.

It is a chamber piece that addresses various struggles we carry in our flesh. It is a passage, a veil between worlds, where light is not on the path we imagined...

To all those who will be born after us, in the lair of a sick world: you shall burn only with passion.
