“A child is here to support the world, to have new ideas, new projects that no one has had, ideas that do not come from before but come from now for later.”
Excerpts from the soundtrack made with students from Rennes at the Théatre National de Bretagne.
Why does man exist? Why does a child exist? What are they doing and why?
The show's soundtrack is made up of children's reflections on these questions and is in Icelandic. Manndýr is on the border between theatrical performance and participatory installation. On stage, Aude Busson follows the voices of children and traces a story and a reflection on man and his relationship to the world.
In Manndýr, viewers are invited into a world to explore with all the senses, alone or in a group. While taking the time to ask unanswered questions and live in a world where children tell the whole story.
The soundtrack will be in Icelandic but it is not necessary to understand Icelandic to enjoy the show.
