Épopées

After Désobéir and La Tendresse, Julie Bérès continues to explore identity through the prism of civil disobedience in Épopées. Young men and women from Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, Israel and Palestine bear witness through dance, song and music; their artistic practices become sources of resilience and defiance. Between gravity and humour, truth and fiction, the piece weaves intimate testimony and political urgency into a sensitive theatre where collective vitality reshapes perceptions.
