We're bathed in the warm, glowing atmosphere of the lobby of the Majestyx, a very... Hotel.
Among us this evening: journalists, researchers, insomniacs, the curious, the naive, the erudite. We witness unexpected encounters, bitter reunions, surreal conversations and bitter arguments. We attend a lecture by the famous Professor Pélissard on the brain and dreams.
But ?!... What time-space are we in? How do we find ourselves in the half-light of a bedroom, sharing the intimacy of a dream and its tenant?
From the anonymity of the entrance hall to the intimacy of the dreamers' bedroom, this multi-phase show takes us on a musical journey through a seriously zany lecture, full of humour and misalignment.
An ephemeral architecture, HÔTEL PARTICULIER can appear here, in this park, in this disused area, in a square, or anywhere else.
HÔTEL PARTICULIER is a fiery theatrical proposition.
We're taking over the public space with an artistic form that combines flame, our vocabulary, and the theatre that lends it its voice.
