Theatre
From 12 to 13 February 2026
Actress and circus performer Laurette Gougeon offers a perilous adventure in the heart of the unforgiving world of the mountains, where every step counts. On stage, two climbers, a roped party, for a summit show.
The Compagnie La Féroce imagines a space of shadows and lights, sets and apparatus made from mountain equipment or materials found in nature. The mountaineering duo is left to their own devices, facing the void, facing the euphoria of altitude, facing the exhilaration of summits, united by the joy of climbing. But the mountain is as hostile as it fascinates us. Little by little, the atmosphere thickens, the tension mounts as the roped party advances, each holding their breath.
Through this ascent, Laurette Gougeon explores the flaws, those of the mountain and those of the human heart. She questions, in a moment of great poetry, what is born of surpassing oneself and the intimate scope of the emotions that overwhelm us.
