Introduction
L'Armoire is an international multidisciplinary creation bringing together theatre, circus, dance, music and singing. Developed by artistic partners from France, Canada and Morocco, the project explores displacement and the relationship between culture, space and identity.
Synopsis
In a country hit by a severe crisis, an authoritarian law governs squatting and homelessness, forcing a person to remain in near-permanent movement. A large mobile wardrobe then becomes a refuge: inside, several people are secretly transported. Each carries a singular story, and all try to coexist within a shared, restricted space.
