Spectacle "Croire aux fauves"
Theater: "Croire aux fauves" at the MJC in Rodez—Théâtre des 2 Points, Tuesday, November 24, 2026, at 8:30 p.m.
By the Yondura Yondura Company
A theatrical adaptation of the story by Nastassja Martin
During an expedition to Kamchatka, anthropologist Nastassja Martin has a life-altering encounter with a bear, which tears off part of her jaw.
The event shatters the boundaries between the human and non-human worlds.
How does one come to terms with the marks of otherness on one’s own flesh? How does one connect with other ways of caring for living beings?
On stage, three bodies—through voice, movement, and music—attempt to coexist in a narrative that becomes polyphonic.
It explores boundaries, transitions, healing, and a metamorphosis, navigating the realms of dreams, animist culture, and reality.
