Racines du Ciel (roots of heaven) evokes the experience of grief – how loss can upset our inner landscape and uproot us. And then, little by little, without forgetting what has been lost, the connection with the lost ones is transformed so that we may renew ourselves and move forward.
Racines du ciel is the story of a woman who loses her loved one and is faced with her grief and with herself.
We follow her journey through a performance that uses puppets, mask and sculpture.
You are invited to a poetry of images, without words, a journey of sensations which, through its universal symbols, appeals to the sensitivity of each individual.
