L’Amazone (Amazon), Bouche Cousue (Tight-lipped) and la Joconde (Mona Lisa) revolt after the announcement of a redundancy plan. They tell about their body, their work, love, loneliness, and power-based relationships.
Les Petits Bonnets is a circus fiction, a poetic and powerful story based on actual events. A mise en abyme of the chronicle of a workers’ revolt grappling with the media co-opting their fight.
An intimate and striking opera featuring the band Les Elles who chant their physical performance on-stage.
