Alice becomes an aquatic tale, a book of dreamy images, a hymn to the marvelous power of theatre
« It seems impossible to me to keep on considering as children literature these precious poems which are real documents concerning the history of human thought. » , Aragon wrote in 1931 about Alice in the Wonderland. Lewis Carroll, as much gifted for poetry as for mathematics, revolutionized through some apparently innocuous histories, the idea of a logic, stable and rational world, thus creating some paradoxes that will be soon reclaimed by major researchers. Alice, here revisited by Fabrice Melquiot, meets on her way different anomalies, riddles or monstrosities: a tardy rabbit, a smiling cat… In order to come back to the surface, she will firstly have to go underground. A way to say that, starting from the depths, Alice will reach Theatre land.
