From last year’s unforgettable refugee odysseys, to the little “nothings” that together create an epic…


The theatre company of Ariane Mnouchkine, which revived the concept of political theatre, alongside explorations of popular, celebratory, commedia dell’ arte and Eastern theatrical models, here seeks out the thread of history in our little stories, in the hidden facets “of our lives, in the lives of our mothers, fathers and grandparents, in their absence, in the moments they did us good, and the moments they did us harm. In the moments that we, too, did them some harm…”.


Naturalistic and dream-like miniature worlds set on moving platforms form a web of loves, friendships, quarrels and farewells. Large numbers of actors switch in and out of roles which emerged from improvisations based on their own memories; they magically transform flash-backs of their personal lives into scenes of universality. It is an elegy to the ephemeral nature of human existence, and stands as another landmark in the forty-year-long history of the Théâtre du Soleil.


In French with Greek surtitles.

Duration Each part lasts 3 hours and 15 minutes with one interval. Part 1 and 2 last 6 hours and 30 minutes with an interval of one hour.
