Overview
A revelation and a favourite at the Festival d’Avignon off 2025, Derrière by Nicolas Chaigneau and Claire Laureau opens our 26-27 season.
“Failure does not tarnish the sincerity of the attempt” Paul Auster
After Les Galets au Tilleul (…), Derrière is the second part of the diptych Le Vide. While these two shows are distinct in form, the main objective is the same: to work from seemingly uninteresting situations, and to try to extract, with humour and meticulousness, their share of sensitivity, absurdity, and poetry. With a multitude of makeshift solutions, and relying on the spectator's imagination, Derrière mischievously attempts to make a show captivating even though it only fails, and to sublimate the very relative tragedy of this failure.
