Visage de feu

Olga, Kurt. The father, the mother. A family locked in its daily life. Between occupied bathroom and shared upstairs room, brother and sister embrace their adolescence and seek, through an ambiguous intimacy, to preserve the last jolts of childhood.

But one day, Olga meets Paul. So, match after match, Kurt consumes his being-in-the-world and, in a final hammer blow, signs his refusal to exist governed by adults unable to cope with its complexity.

Face of fire offers a singular reflection on filiation and transmission, questioning relationships based on love, authority and power. Unfolding within a space where body and voice sculpt a closed-door, the show is about exploring the loss of our most archaic landmarks.
