Architectures de la joie

A series of brief portraits set to the stage, with eight protagonists chosen for their unique lives and their original storytelling.

A strike is on at the sawmill, reeking of sweat and lust. Beyond the picket lines, hungry eyes turn to Querelle, a worker who is impossibly handsome, perfectly free, and perhaps dangerous. Under the eyes of Jézabel, one of the few female workers at the mill, his provocative presence stirs up masculine desire and virility. Bottles fly and bats swing as rage explodes into violence. 

Carré de cendres is a theatrical, poetic, irreverent, and playful piece created from the work of Brigitte Fontaine, combining movement, voice, and music.
