Théâtre : Violences conjuguées

A story of resilience: how to survive violence?

As he awaits the birth of his child, a man reflects on his childhood experiences, on the blows inflicted on his mother that he doesn't remember, on this father who is no longer a father, on the violence that was passed down to him. How to survive violence?

The violence one has suffered, inherited, the violence one fears inflicting. This man wants to fully realise himself by accepting his fears, his fragilities, his powerlessness and his tears. "An unmissable event, as the organic power of its narrative strikes the spectator.

" Marina Da Silva — L’Humanité "There are laughs and tears, light moments and more serious ones. Bryan Polach doesn't cheat. When his words cannot express the inexpressible, his body takes over. Poignant.

" Kilian Orain — Télérama "The body never lies, and in this impressive one-man show, words and gestures, right down to tears, combine in a dazzling, sometimes deeply moving way.

" Agnès Santi — La Terrasse "It is with astonishing gentleness that a childhood marked by violence is recounted here. Bryan Polach and Karine Sahler examine the collateral damage of domestic violence without pathos.

An essential one-man show that adopts the point of view of witnesses. Z’art etc.
