THE PERFORMANCE

Un Pan de Jour

-inachis io-

Synopsis:

An old woman by the side of a non tragic death is narrating the story of her life:

a human life.

Her childhood,

The death of her childhood,

Her love for a tree,

And that joy... that untamable desire to live, even in the midst of a desert.

And what a mischievious goblin thinks of this...

Three characters:

-a woman, escorted through childhood by her wooden horse...

then inhaled by time

-a phantasmagorical creature, eternal dweller of the place, who has an influence on the woman (mask)

-a death, quiet, with a bark face, partaking to the infinite dance of life,

only for a short while (tall puppet)

« Un Pan de Jour » means « A Day Tail » but the pronunciation is the same that a butterfly named « Un Paon de Jour » (Day Peacock). « Inachis io » is the scientific name of this butterfly.
