Festival de la Bâtie – Céline — a Triptych by Juliette Navis

Booking Required

FURTHER AFIELD

Created and directed by Juliette Navis, this theatrical piece is the second in a triptych that interrogates three pop‑culture icons confronting existential crises. Through a fictional Céline Dion—at the height of fame and adulation—the work probes finitude and how one faces disappearance. The staging blends satire and intimacy, confronting taboos of money, death and sex with poetic choreography and sharp dramaturgy.

In French.
