Les mondes qui nous manquent

Theater by Bastien Semenzato, Karine Guignard & Léo Besso

Les mondes qui nous manquent

Three performers delve into the ideas of Mark Fisher, a philosopher who wondered why it has become so difficult to envision a different future. On stage: electronic music, rap, texts projected like slogans, activist karaoke, a miniature dance floor. Words cling to the beats, thoughts loop endlessly, and the show unfolds like a lecture that spirals into a party.

Each performer moves about with her alter ego: a more kitschy, more radical, more excessive version of herself. Identities shift, overlap, and are pieced together on the spot. We shed our skins without warning, as if a single presence weren’t enough—so we invent others, to hold on, to play, to survive.

A show to shake your head… and see if anything falls out.

In collaboration with La Bâtie – Festival de Genève!
