Nocturne (Parade) unfolds as an odyssey from darkness into light, guided by the movement of air. In a circular and immersive space, the wind animates anthropomorphic puppets that rise before us in a fascinating musical ballet. The stage plunges us into unstable landscapes, subject to an invisible force that imposes its rhythm and redistributes balances. An untamable and unsettling world appears, gradually becoming a sensitive reflection of our era, marked by deep political upheavals.
