The Wave — Dance Piece

Booking Required

Choreographed by Raphaële Teicher and performed by Marthe Krummenacher, this 20-minute dance responds to the haunting imagery of Carlos Schwabe’s La Vague. The piece weaves fluid solos and taut, sculptural gestures within an intimate soundscape to probe themes of memory, mourning and metamorphosis. Lighting and a minimal set carve shifting shadows that echo the painting’s symbolism, creating a concentrated, contemplative atmosphere in dialogue with the exhibition.

About the play
1942. France is under occupation. Seven friends gather to celebrate Sophie’s birthday—until two German officers are shot beneath their windows. Kaubach, a Nazi commander, forces the guests to make an unthinkable choice: to designate two hostages among themselves.
Thus begins a harrowing struggle for survival. By confronting the depths of human nature, the play invites us to question which side we would have chosen.

In French.
