A rare theatrical experience: visceral, luminous, essential. An immersive sound design that transports us to Kamchatka. In August 2015, anthropologist Nastassja Martin found herself face to face with a bear in the mountains of Siberia. From this struggle, experienced as an implosion, she wrote a book, Croire aux fauves.
