Théâtre : Bienvenue ailleurs - Théâtre de la Maison du Peuple

Sara is sixteen when she comes across images of arsonists setting forests ablaze and injuring kangaroos. She runs away a year later. What does her act mean? Her mother, her friends, and her lovers reflect on it, follow her trail, and try to make sense of the traces the teenager leaves behind—both in the world and within them. Sara’s absence is the vanishing point of the play. The story of the runaway teenager is told in fragments and through music, using a soundscape composed of tom-toms, a lithophone and a vibraphone, bird calls, and orchestral timpani.

New parables and new relationships with living things are built upon the radical ecology championed by the new generation. From one scene to the next, *Bienvenue ailleurs* powerfully asks: What happens when a child no longer wants to break free from the new generation but to overturn it? When the divide is so great, how can we live together?
