Presented by Mairie de Francheville

The festival 7 à l'Ouest returns for a 4th edition of shows aimed at families. Once again, Francheville opens the series of 7 shows across the 7 communes of the Val d'Yzeron with a show full of poetry and lightness: « Deux rien  ».

Through mime and dance, the performers tell of the present moment of these people left behind. A strange pair, whose history nothing reveals. No past, no future, only the beauty of the present moment. But what are they doing there? Nothing, twice nothing! They sit there, sharing a scrap of bench barely large enough for their two behinds. Clinging to one another, buoy or ball and chain, they hold on at the edge of the abyss, for better and for worse. These "two nothings", stowaways of reality, keep themselves busy, write to each other, invent an elsewhere, an in-between, and choose to board the real world through play. Life and fiction answer each other without interruption. One element, like a beacon, the last anchor to the real world: a bench. Theatre of our emotions...
