Since everything is illusory and has the nature of a dream, since it is exhausting to live in a constant state of expectation and ambiguity, abolish! Down with the walls! Praise to our flaws! Let there be light.
No stripping, no progression, no conventions, no surface, no emptiness, no politeness. Without wasting time we want to give the “deep shit”, the mellow, the scratches. We are here to celebrate our fears. Our nightmares will cover the walls, our rage will stain the floor, our demons will take possession of our bodies and our weaknesses will guide us towards what we do not know.
We wish to awaken the inner sky of our beings by welcoming the co-emergence of the madness-wisdom, in search of the lost language of our instincts. “I read in her eyes that she was going to dive into the galaxies of the interior, without knowing that I would follow her there.” (extract from Les entrailles dans le cœur, le cœur dans les yeux)
— La Fiévreuse, June 2022
The DNA of La Fiévreuse is based on one main element: intensity. That of living, of being part of the world and experiencing it.
The company was founded in 2018 by Guillaume Forestier and presents its first two creations during the 2022/2023 season. The themes of intimacy, violence and sensation are at the heart of these two creations. The artists on stage have made these forces a fertile ground to express and share these intensities through sincere stage writing. Collaborative, the creations are born from the experience, the spirit and the body of each person involved. La Fiévreuse's proposals aspire to bring radical experiences to the audience by revealing the essence of each performer.
