The Smallest Things

Created by Marc Oosterhoff in collaboration with performer Owen Winship, The Smallest Things is a delicate stage creation that works within the constraints of theatrical space to reveal the unexpected. On an almost bare stage, two performers construct the material of a show before our eyes: wonders of small feats and illusions performed openly. The piece explores the fragile poetry of making, creating and tinkering, blending theatrical invention with intimate presence and quiet astonishment.

The concert offers an elegant, reflective musical voyage.

Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.

Text by Erri De Luca. Directed by Barbara Baker and F‑X Fernandez‑Cavada, Impossible unfolds after a man falls from a steep trail in the Dolomites.

The production balances documentary clarity and poetic fragments, offering a tense, intimate reflection on vengeance and the echoes of the 20th century into the present.
