Radio Live-Le Jour d'Après Ukraine/Aurélie Charon & le collectif Radio

Aurélie Charon & the Radio collective Radio Live – Le Jour d’après (Ukraine / Egypt)A vast documentary project with no equivalent in the history of live performance, Radio Live now unfolds across two new chapters, lived and written in Kyiv and Cairo. On stage, testimonies, dialogues, music and images weave together stories running through the question of reconstruction. For more than ten years, Aurélie Charon has pursued a highly singular project, positioned between the concerns of documentary theatre and the codes of live radio. Radio Live is at once a portrait of generations and a long-running conversation on commitment and transmission, telling the world through the accounts of young people who live through its most violent upheavals. Each chapter invites two people on stage, like so many life journeys unfolding through dialogue, video and music. With Vivantes (presented at Chaillot in April 2024), Nos vies à venir and Réuni.es, the collective opened a new cycle of this fresco. The two chapters of Le Jour d’après form its second phase, nourished both by the bonds forged with those who have been involved for several years and by the vitality of new encounters. Over the course of stays in Ukraine and Egypt, each of them exchanges their stories, questions their parents, their cities and their languages. These filmed moments feed a collective logbook on stage, made of images, drawings, music and words. Each evening, their exchanges are replayed, differently, in the urgency of the present. These new chapters presented at Chaillot address the themes of reconstruction and repair, in a political and voluntarist spirit: being in motion, in action and in creation in order to envisage a common future.
