Sous les Cendres is a powerful original creation by Acting Line Studio that plunges us into the heart of a fictional war-torn city, where four young women take refuge in a theatre as bombs fall around them. Inspired by the Mariupol tragedy and shaped through months of collaborative work, this urgent and intimate play explores the devastation of war, the fragility of human bonds, and the quiet resilience of those who endure. A raw, poetic tribute to life and to theatre as a space of truth, resistance, and memory.
