Translated into English
All audiences aged 14 and up
Duration: 50 minutes
Enfant, etymologically “Infans”: “he who does not speak”, lives without distinction the real and the imaginary, life and death.
L’enfant, is an invitation to experience from the inside the play The Death of Tintagiles by Maurice Maeterlinck through an immersive form.
Labyrinthine spaces, ephemeral scenography, animated figures, and sound vibrations are all elements that plunge us into a world in constant emergence, reflecting the inner reality of the character Ygraine, whose initiatory journey we follow.
The unexpected return of her young brother Tintagiles to the devastated island arouses both joy and anxiety in her. Responding to the threat of an invisible soul-devourer queen, Ygraine engages in a rebellion. Overthrowing the established order, breaking down borders, she finally penetrates a world that the living cannot enter, eager to catch a glimpse of the infinite realm of shadows.
Ygraine is the only one who can penetrate where the living do not penetrate, to pass the forbidden line, beyond the last step. She alone is able to communicate with the child, who is ready to be absorbed by the destructive force of darkness, yet also ready—so small—to pass through the widened fissure and be reborn after this passage into the realm of shadows.
