Chaillon weaves tapestries of images that conjure complex ideas and feelings with a dry comic deftness that is so unique. This is big, messy theatre about big, messy, world-expanding life.

The starting point of La Parabole du Seum [Parable of the Sour] is Fear and the necessity it creates to organise in order to survive it. Rébecca Chaillon brings together performers who live on the margins and who actively engage daily with the future and its (im)possibilities. She moves Heaven and Earth, including her home territory of Seine-Saint-Denis, to broaden the horizon of what is possible, composing a work at once astronomical and astrological which brings together text, performance, visual and sound imagery: a parable of venom and anger which seeks to spark dreams, laughter, empathy, and revolt against the coming fascism.
