Souterrain / underground, loosely based on the myth of Orpheus, is a journey through the underworld in search of lost love. A adventure that needs the collective memory of the audience.

WILDWORKS makes landscape theatre - performances and artworks that grow out of their locations; quarries, cliffs, harbours, derelict industrial sites, castles, empty department stores... The performance took place in "La Citadelle", an army fortress, Orpheus is a english soldier commig back from war with his troup, and the poppies remind the nearby Somme Battlefields.

For the dadaists, World War I discredited the notion of a civilized European society. As dadaist Hugo Ball noted, the war proved that “this world of systems has gone to pieces.” For Ball and his contemporaries, the pillars of society—law, culture, faith, language, economy, education, and the roles assigned to men and women—had failed to prevent the war and its unparalleled destruction.

the 1920s marked a period of intense artistic engagement with the performing arts which offered exciting opportunities to depict, challenge and, more fundamently, influence the ways in which modern society was developping.
