Returning to the stage, Carlos Martinez offers an intimate homage to the art of mime and to the audiences who accompanied his career. The evening’s opening is a journey through memory: a man revisits a place that shaped his life and discovers objects that are more than mere things, holding the traces of the past and opening spaces of imagination. Through precise, silent gestures and poetic tableaux, Martinez transforms objects into storytellers, exploring origin, time and heritage while celebrating how art endures.

30 May – 13 June

Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.
