An intimate contemporary performance, Wary Nichen blends physical theatre and subtle choreography to probe memory and identity.

Straddling dance, circus and magic, the work explores vulnerability, hope and the tender care given to tiny things. Nanda Suc acts as external advisor; the production is by Cie Moost and includes institutional coproductions.

Co-produced by Tanzhaus Zürich, Casino Théâtre de Rolle, Théâtre Boulimie and LE POCHE, it offers an intimate, unsettling and hilarious journey.
