Kal

A tale of initiation, music and dance, where words give birth to a poetic, powerful and sometimes funny world.

Kal is a text on the theme of love in its vital dimension.
The play is based on a fable that rewrites the Reunion Island myth of the Witch Grandmother Kalle, blending it with the world of Japanese Noh ghost plays and inviting us to understand the loneliness of love.
The play is about abandonment, loneliness and the hope that comes with it. The hope of a migrant on his way to a hostile place. Hope for an encounter that will help him get back on his feet.
Hope and the quest for an absolute. Hope for human beings spurned or carried away by love.

We need to talk about love, in times of crisis, in times of change, in times of urgency. Without angelism. A constant and universal subject, love is both evanescent and omnipresent. It is constantly being "reinvented", as Rimbaud put it.
Talking about love is political, especially at a time when liberal ideology is at the centre of every debate. Humans are not just a special interest. They don't survive just for their own sake. They are capable of empathy, compassion and love. Humans cannot be an island. They can be the glue that binds a society together, more powerful than the law, which is now supposed to be the only way of balancing the individual interests of people who are tearing each other apart.
