Jésus Triste

Presented at the Festival CDD, Jésus Triste follows a gang of bus fare dodgers seeking a line of flight to walk between the drops of the worst empire that governs them. Performed by a tight ensemble, the piece mixes grotesque humor and bleak poetry, using physical theatre, rhythmic text and stripped-back staging to evoke precarious survival and collective resistance. The production balances tenderness and fury in an unsettling, poetic atmosphere.

In French.
