How to Say It

Show & Culture

How do you part ways after loving each other? How do you tell the end of a story? In a musical and theatrical closed setting, dialogue unfolds like a duel. Memories flood in, reproaches become crystalized, nostalgia weaves between the lines. This original creation explores, through the couple's prism, the contemporary themes of communication and lack of communication. On stage, words and music alternate, striving for dialogue, hoping for reconciliation: she, through the language of words and texts; he, through the language of sounds. Between tension, silence, and emotion, this performance offers an emotional journey inviting each spectator to recognize themselves in an intimate reflection on their bonds with others and human relationships. The show intertwines musical and literary works, featuring compositions by Bach, Schumann, Fauré, Gershwin, Kurtág, Poulenc, and Philip Glass, as well as texts by Prévert, Rambert, Durringer, Richter, and Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt.
