Le Cri Dévot
Montpellier / France
Performance Programme

Propelled into a space-time journey, a mysterious explorer travels through the inner worlds of an entire generation. What are the dreams, fantasies, and rumblings of these elusive beings? This show is based on meetings and participatory projects conducted with dozens of teenagers in several countries around the world. Their concerns about major current affairs are staged and it questions their relationship to the body, to family, social, and cultural heritage. Extending its creative work around the work of Annie Ernaux, the company captures intimate stories caught in the movement of a generation.

About the Artists

Established in 2011 in Montpellier, Le Cri Dévot delves into contemporary writings with the spirit of engagement and interaction. Immersing themselves in specific environments, away from conventional performance spaces, invariably serves as the starting point for their creations. These immersions enrich their perspectives and spark curiosity among lo­cals, students, users, and more. Therefore, community projects and shared creations have assumed a central role in the artistic development of our troupe. Co-writing with partici­pants and collecting documentary narratives prove to be invaluable tools in designing our performances. Their journey through venues of varying scales and technical capacities en­courages them to create adaptable shows, suited more fittingly to regions without dedicated venues.
