La Cour des Contes Festival: "The Vanished of Japan"

Artist: Pascal Mitsuru Guéran / Show for ages 12 and up
Changing your life? Starting over, starting from scratch? Trying to be forgotten? Trying to erase what no longer fits, running away? Not necessarily by deliberate choice, but driven by life's circumstances...
Inspired by an investigation by Léna Mauger, Pascal Mitsuru Guéran explored the phenomenon of voluntary disappearances and offers stories of people who, from one day to the next, decide to "disappear" and start a "new" life.
But can we really abandon everything and claim to erase the past? And when a man, or a woman, or even a child, reaches the point where they can no longer face reality and choose to flee, the result is unique, mysterious stories, where the human being is forced to push himself to the limit...
A fascinating subject, which questions the evolution of a society and the development of the individual.
