»Embrasser le chaos« is a gesture at the crossroads of theatre, storytelling arts and music. It is the quest of two narrators starved of story, seeking to break free from their shackles and reveal what fiction has concealed for too long. Live music accompanies them. It is the accomplice of the narratives, weaving and transforming the stories, which sometimes shift into song. Through the journeys of Lucie and Léonora, two young women wrestling with the narratives that confine them, the play questions the necessity of reclaiming one’s own story. Léonora attempts to escape the oppressive romantic patterns and the abuse that have shaped her, while Lucie, a masked autistic woman, confronts the norms of a world that refuses to see her. These characters eventually meet, support one another, and untie the silences that had kept them muzzled. Between emancipation and reinvention, they deconstruct their inheritances and trace, together, the contours of a new mythology.
Based in Seine-Saint-Denis, the collectif particules fines explores contemporary forms of storytelling, between theatre, performance and sound creation. Their work places the relationship with the audience at the heart of a reflection on the narratives that shape us.
