SOUS LE VOLCAN brings together five beings in search of new forms of cooperation and new imaginaries. Caught in a process of collective transformation, they surrender to the effervescence of an endless dance made of unison and singularity, of fury and tenderness—an ultimate attempt to honor the beauty of the living.
With this new creation, which sets aside individualism and competition in favor of connection, support, and mutual aid, Leslie Mannès invites us into a secret ceremony of repair, rising from the ashes of our fears. What if this “being together” were a way of facing our traumas ?
