Le nom des choses

Directed by Muriel Imbach, Le nom des choses stages five performers in a poetic, playful investigation of language through a child’s gaze. Against a cloud of black confetti, the ensemble deconstructs and reshapes words, renaming objects to metamorphose realities. Combining theatre and philosophy, the piece mixes humor and lyricism to examine how language constructs and transforms the world, offering a gentle yet political reflection on imagination, naming and collective emancipation.
