Festival de la Bâtie – Sturbzep

Directed by Sophie Perez for the Compagnie du Zerep, Sturbzep turns the stage into a machine of collective hallucinations. Drawing on hoaxes, cryptids and literary impostures, the piece mixes haunted-manor atmospheres, neon-free fairground textures and prophetic nightmares. Sophie Lenoir, Stéphane Roger, Erge Yu, Adrien Castillo and Baptiste de Laubier embody a controlled chaos of creatures and smoky visions. Text by Pacôme Thiellement and music by hackedepicciotto shape an uncanny, theatrical odyssey.
