Qui-Vive

At the age of 50, with 30 years together, a couple of actors mounted on a forklift unfurl a theatrical and choreographic fresco, going back in time with a bang. Part chanson de geste, part situation comedy, this flashback traverses the ups and downs of a couple's life with children: the blows of fate, the overloaded daily routine and the lost illusions. It's an opportunity to create a communicative picture book using moving scenes and an unusual vehicle, taking spectators on a stroll through the public space. With self-mockery at its core, this journey turns away from nostalgia to blend their little stories with the big one, rediscovering what links them, connects us and makes us want to go on. These two figures of the street arts thus continue a trilogy on the seasons of a life, initiated with L'Envol which followed the first steps into adulthood and ended with the Emergency exit, around joyful aging. WHO LIVES reflects on human beings and their living conditions.

Visit Adhok Company was created in 2012 with Échappés Bellesa creation for which Doriane Moretus and Patrick Dordoigne have decided to combine their expertise. Involved in the development of the street arts for over 30 years, they felt the need to get together and pursue their artistic adventures together. Thanks to their complementary skills - and after numerous experiences in street theater (Oposito, Les Alama's Givrés) - they create shows with a poetic dimension, combining drama, clowning and dance. Their research focuses on the questions of today's generations, driven by the desire to develop a new language for the public space. In 2013, they were awarded the SACD Prix des Arts de la rue. Doriane Moretus has long been involved with Clowns sans frontières, and both of them with Rire Médecin, an association of comedian-clowns working in hospitals. They have already presented at the TJP Emergency exit.

" A tremendous love song, provoking laughter and emotion in equal measure, a poignant theatrical moment that resonates with our own personal histories and questions. "
