La Causeuse (The Love Seat)

Adult and teen audience, 13 years + Without words

La Causeuse (The Love Seat) is a solo performance at the crossroads of dance, mime, physical theatre and object theatre. Immersed in solitude, a woman guides us through a moving interior dialogue as she revisits fragments from her life. This is living poetry, David Lynch style, with a fair share of sordid romance, absurdity and a hint of subtle humour. This original creation reveals the artist’s sensitive and very personal theatrical language where movement is of the essence.
