Show: The flight

It’s a 63-year-old love story! Marie-Reine and Arnold go through ages and time together. A long stretch of road dotted with adventures, tenderness, nostalgia, and love apples filled with the seeds of everyday life... They are our grandparents. But Mary Queen has a fleeting memory. What remains of her? of him? What remains of them when ideas and time fade away, and disappear?

“Bringing the heart to the surface”

We wanted to talk about those who are forgotten too often over time, who are put aside because they are too heavy to manage, misunderstood and neglected because they no longer have the «rhythm» of youth and society. Those who become invisible and live with their solitude, out of sight. But also Alzheimer’s disease, which generates loneliness for both the patient and the caregiver, that is here Arnold. What touches us is their way of being in the present, it’s the love between them despite the failure of memory. We want, first of all, to propose a different vision of old age, to make the «categorizing» ideas of society waltz. We want to question the place that is given to these people without asking their opinion. We also want to talk about this disease without taboos: from beautiful to at least beautiful.
