Le Margherite - Creation 2026
Le Margherite research laboratory
Creation 2026 for 5 performers and a live actor-musician
On the stage, five performers and an actor-musician search together for a momentum that never relents, a suspension that dodges the end. Driven by a powerful desire for the moment, LE MARGHERITE composes, between disguises and metamorphoses, a playful and sensitive ode to the ephemeral where inefficiency is brandished as resistance, a way of thwarting finitude.
On stage, a space emerges as if ‘on the edge’: between lightness and intensity, their gestures and trajectories oscillate between the temptation of an abyss – that of our violent news, of passions that are too strong and of the consumption of our lives – and the need for suspension, thought of at once as desire, recommencement and deviation.
Like a daisy from which its petals are gradually plucked, they play with the intensity of chance, affirming together and in front of us a poetics of the ephemeral as much as of eternity. Desiring, loving, doing and beginning become the variations of a single gesture, the affirmation of a vital movement that has not yet finished being written…
