I AM THE WIND, Jon Fosse

I AM THE WIND, Jon Fosse
English text : Simon Stephens,
Patrice Chéreau, Thierry Thieû Niang

The wind was threatening and it rose suddenly. There are two of them on a brittle boat: an excursion at sea, a stop in a creek, a glass of schnapps, and a little food. And so one of them decides to push further on towards the high seas. And here we are, on the high seas _ if only this: to symbolize on a theater stage, the journey, the trip, the islands offshore, the fog and the ocean, calm and soon threatening. To symbolize in a same move the crossing of the channel and the depression’s shadow kept at a distance and that forcefully strikes back; brotherhood, love? It slowly becomes unbearable, something that carries such little weight, until the final accident which will bring calm and peace and lightness, finally.

A journey inside two intertwined lives, an odyssey, a paradoxical path towards appeasement.

Patrice Chéreau

Cercles / Fictions, Joël Pommerat

En résidence depuis trois ans au théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, Joël Pommerat crée Cercles/Fictions, un spectacle écrit à partir d’histoires vraies. La scène représente un grand cercle : un lieu magique où le réalisme se mêle à l’imagination créative de la mise en scène pour un spectacle tout simplement sublime.

Mission Drift, TEAM

Mission Drift is a pioneering journey west and east across the USA, told through atomic blasts, lizard ballet, and music that fuses Las Vegas glitz with Western ballads and Southern blues. The musical follows an immortal Dutch couple through American time and space, from the New Amsterdam colony in 1624 to modern-day Vegas. Over it all reigns Miss Atomic. She is creation and destruction, the seduction and devastation of American capitalism.
The TEAM is the Theatre of the Emerging American Moment, an NYC-based collaborative ensemble whose mission is to create new work that dissects and celebrates the experience of living in America today.
