In Pétrole, Sylvain Creuzevault tackles one of Pasolini's most ambitious projects. Via a text which has much in common with his brand of theatre – fragmentary and cascade-like, burlesque and spine-chilling – he continues his exploration into the foundations of our society.

 

Published seventeen years after his death, Pétrole (Petrolio) is one of Pier Paolo Pasolini's very last works-in-progress. Described by the director as "a continuity of forces in a discontinuity of forms", this collection of stories and its multiplicity of points of view seems to respond as much to the search for a new novel-based playing space as it does to the desire, in political terms, to better come to terms with an Italy in the grip of a strategy of tension. Pasolini’s fragmentary writing presents itself in a series of notes in which different visions, in the form of snippets of information, novelistic sketches, mystical fables, aesthetic and political reflections, are juxtaposed without any apparent logic. This enables the intertwining of the two parallel journeys that the engineer Carlo Valletti embarks upon, namely his meteoric rise within the ENI Oil Company and unbridled quest for sexual adventure. By giving shape to the wastelands of Pasolini's vision of heaven and hell in Italy of the 1960s and 1970s, the director continues to examine the genealogy of the struggles that have shaped our contemporary social organization.

Vimala Pons
Honda Romance

TheatreMusic

How can you find your place in a world flooded with information and digital fragments that disappear from one second to the next? At the crossroads between performance, stand-up, and a dialogue between technology and existential reflection, Vimala Pons once again questions the contemporary world by means of a deftly mischievous ballet, set to the music of Rebeka Warrior and Tsirihaka Harrivel.
