Medieval Crack

Medieval Crack is a performative choreography by Collectif Foulles that collapses medieval imagery into a living, queer‑inflected spectacle. Conceived and choreographed by the collective (Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Emma Saba and Fabio Zoppelli) and performed by Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Clovis Maillet and Fabio Zoppelli, the work unfreezes sacred tableaux through pop‑medieval songs, spoken interventions and dances that shift from ritual to concert. The piece probes historical fissures to reveal other narratives, bodies and modes of existence.

In French.

Directed by Oscar Gómez Mata and Bastien Semenzato, this staging brings together 16 young performers from La Manufacture’s promotion O to tackle Hamlet in its entirety. Combining tragic force with mordant, absurd humour, the piece explores how the past splashes into the present and how institutions unravel. Using the jeu bouffon — masks, exaggeration and the subversion of power — the ensemble shifts between farce, violent outbursts and intimate doubt as the prince teeters between thought and action.
