The 10th Wuzhen Theatre Festival took place from October 19 to October 29, 2023, in China. One of the most notable productions of this event was “Contes et Légendes” by the French theatrical company Louis Brouillard, a fictional documentary about adolescent self-construction and the myth of the artificial creature. Joël Pommerat continues his observation of contemporary values and identities, this time staging a slightly futuristic world in which humans and social robots cohabit. Like an anthropologist of the future, he observes a series of relationships between adolescents, adults and androids.

New creation “Moi, Elles”
“Moi, Elles” is a play about the mother-daughter relationship through women of different origins: China, Mali, Iran—all living in France.
Three relationships, three generations, three paths and three cultures. Through twelve scenes, the stories of six women intersect, they slide over each other, and are reflected like a mirror facing each other.
