After Constructionisme and Fresque, the Old Masters collective—made up of Marius Schaffter, Jérôme Stünzi and Sarah André—proposes a monochrome work that dreamily testifies to our relationship to the world and to others, infused with their characteristic sense of humour. On stage, beings with undefinable silhouettes interrogate each other. One shares their physical, mental and moral pain. The other seeks to make sense of this by basing themself on their own impressions. These seemingly trivial and derisory exchanges work between the lines to target human pettiness and social tyrannies. An infinitely caustic and poetic work.

RELAX PERFORMANCES 😌
The Relax performances offer a more adequate experience for persons with disabilities, or who wish to access the performances in more flexible conditions. In concrete terms, this means that the artists perform as usual, but some technical adjustments can be made if necessary (reduced special effects or lowered sound effects) and the audience welcome is much more flexible (house lights on, possibility to enter/leave and express oneself at will…)
