Based on the novel by Alain Damasio – Design, direction, sound Frédéric Deslias
Resident artist – Coproduction INTERCAL
The world after ?
With his novel published in 2019, Alain Damasio has established himself as France’s leading author of anticipation literature. In Les Furtifs, the year is 2040, city streets belong to multinationals and our every move is controlled by technology. Only furtives, beings of flesh and sound with unprecedented powers of metamorphosis, roam freely in our blind spots. Frédéric Deslias, resident performer at La Comédie last season, has created a philosophical thriller around the epic quest of parents looking for their missing daughter, set against an immersive 3D backdrop. An invitation, in revolt against insidious, alienating capitalism, to reconnect with the living now.
