Dominique toute seule

‘Dominique, you’re sleeping in the woods, for the first time / It’s a bit cold, you’re thinking of home / The birds have stopped singing / And the wolves are keeping watch / Dominique, you’re alone tonight.‘

How can you sing your own tune in full voice when it’s not in tune with the world’s? Dominique toute seule introduces us to a woman who feels she is becoming transparent. Discreetly accompanied by her guardian angel, Dominique wanders the paths of a forest and engages in dialogue with the elements. As the days and nights pass, as she opens up to the world and listens to the music that surrounds her, she gradually becomes herself again. 

On a bare stage, two characters rich in emotions draw us in with a minimum of means – the strength of great theatre. This is a journey to the heart of the self, to the heart of the other too, where we face our greatest fears and experience our greatest joys. Between laughter and song, a show woven with a thread so delicate that it is overwhelming.
