L’AFFAIRE L.EX.Π.RE
La Cordonnerie / Métilde Weyergans & Samuel Hercule • Original

ON ONE SIDE, SUNSHINE AND FEMALE DESIRE. ON THE OTHER, NEON LIGHTS AND SOLITUDE. WHICH SIDE WILL YOU CHOOSE?
La Cordonnerie creates works that are like nothing you have ever seen. Each performance is a whirlwind of imagination and poetry that carries audiences to distant horizons beyond the clouds. Theatre, cinema and music are woven together to create dazzling, polyphonic stories, that cut through silence and monotony and bring a world of wonder within reach. This new work hinges on its incredible split set, on which audiences glimpse scenes of life. Never will viewers seated on one side of the stage see the same piece of those on the other. La Cordonnerie fully explores the potential of this design to tell deeply human stories. On one side, an actor, Natasha, on the other, Max, unemployed and alone. Between the two lies L.ex.π.Re, an invisible thread that winds as their lives wind on. Remember, reality does not exist, everything is a question of perspective...
