Phoenix

What if starting from scratch was scarier than disappearing?

In the midst of an existential crisis, Phoenix doubts everything that once seemed obvious. He fears fire, fears falling, fears no longer recognizing himself after his rebirth. Yet he continues. He falls, starts over, tries to fly again, as if each fall could finally teach him something.

Trauma, passion, social pressure, exhaustion: fire takes on several faces here. Through them, Phoenix explores this strange moment when one feels that a version of oneself is in the process of disappearing, without yet knowing what will come next.

On stage, words are no longer enough. The body takes over. Physical theatre, dance, ballet, cabaret, and absurdity come together in a universe where beauty can suddenly turn grotesque, where laughter rubs shoulders with violence, and where mastery threatens at any moment to tip into chaos.

Funny and cruel, tender and monstrous, eccentric and deeply lonely, this Phoenix is anything but an invincible hero. He resembles rather anyone who has ever feared changing, while knowing that staying the same had become impossible.

Phoenix is a story about the fear of falling, the desire to fly, and this strange necessity of starting over - again and again.

English presentation : A Phoenix in crisis, doubting, falling, and beginning again. Blending physical theatre, dance, cabaret and absurdity, the performance explores the fear of change, exhaustion, and that fragile moment when we no longer know who we will become.
