The Ogres

"where power makes joyful and tireless"


"My glutton neighbor had the terrible look of a man who is unable to physically see something other than what he wants to swallow - whether
a portion of whipped cream or a country"

Klaus Mann, The Turning Point

Blind, impatient, indifferent, selfish, threatening. Situations of bulimia conjugacy.  Unreasonnable accumulation of a collection of unnecessaries. Swallow greedily the little people, at the risk of indigestion, losing all sense of balance. At the risk of crushing anything that disturbs. At the risk of loosing lightness and sinking the boat. 


The theatrical course is a kind of investigation, in countries (like France, Turkey, Georgia) where we will go searching for myths and actuality of ogres, as holder of power and property which it denies others. 


Through stories that we perform with locals, we put those myths into particular relief according to specific cities and countries, but each spectator from Europe and neighbor countries should identify through his own experience.


The Ogres is a theatrical point of view through which allow everyone to identify abuses of power and to laugh at. From 2010 to 2012, variations of  «the Ogres» will be created with guest artists in the frame of artistic and social laboratories in Europe and neighbour countries. Steps are allready considered in Diyarbarkir (Turkey), Batumi (Georgia), Alexandria (Egypt), Lyon and Marseille (France)...
