Porphyre

Porphyre is the story of two deserters taking refuge in a mine, far from the front, while war ravages the world on the surface. In this underground shelter, they dig the earth to act, so as not to sink into waiting and emptiness. Their gesture, at first mechanical, gradually becomes an inner quest.

Porphyre then takes the form of a mosaic of fragments, stories and presences that respond through time and space. By bringing these bursts of humanity into dialogue, the play explores different ways of resisting violence and thinking about peace.
