Spectacle – Marées – Compagnie Safar

On 19 September 2010, on a beach, two demonstrations stand facing each other.
Down below, environmentalists are protesting against the green algae. Up on the dune, farmers are contesting this accusation. Between them lies an invisible boundary. They share the same setting, facing the ocean. They see each other, sometimes pass one another, look at one another, and end up on the wrong side. But they do not speak to one another.

With a touch of mischief and humour, an actor attempts to re-enact this event, not to recreate it faithfully, but to understand what, on that day, could not be said. Drawing on archive footage, interviews and documents, he brings together nineteen voices, each offering a different perspective, sometimes verging on the absurd.

*Marées* seeks neither to settle the matter nor to reconcile the parties, but to lay bare a rift. A thought-provoking performance on the difficulty of building a society when dialogue is impossible.

Suitable for all ages from 10 years old.
Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes.
Unreserved seating.
