Is public speaking a sport? It certainly is. And a sport we urgently need to master. At a time when fake news defies fact, Marine Colard's aim is to use movement to take down the positions of power built on words. The theatre of operations is a stage full of pitfalls and apparatus directly inspired by dog races, dog agilities. "Reach for the punchline basket", "slalom between the poles of lies", "measure yourself on the scales of values"... These are just some of the fun challenges facing a team of four performers determined to give their all with the resources of body and voice, the two inseparable instruments of discourse. The team's aim: to thwart the music of the strong dominating the weak. Is life an obstacle course? Let's not approach it as docile lapdogs!
