Once upon a time in Seine-Saint-Denis, there was a large community of people that resisted against the violence of a world coming to an end. Rébecca Chaillon brings together onstage a clan of performers who, by means of combining their respective strengths with techniques of survival from the fringes of society and their hybrid beliefs, craft new mythologies that resemble them: strange, plural, and dangerous.
In La Parabole du Seum, director Rébecca Chaillon devises parables to be acted out, in line with the transdisciplinary and committed shows that she has been making over the last fifteen years. Onstage, she brings together a militant crew of seven XXL trusty companions, each of whom has been marginalised for different reasons and sets out to counter the norms that oppress them. We navigate between Earth (the so-called ‘93’ suburb of Paris) and the Sky (the hideout of the gods, and the billionaires that colonise outer space) with a mixture of lightness and gras-vité (an invented word, invoking both gravity and ‘fat’ or ‘grease’). La Parabole du Seum is a multi-faceted attempt at surviving the violent dystopia already at work in our society. Ranging from writing straight from Octavia Butler’s imagination to that of pop culture, Rébecca Chaillon’s hybrid writing, at the crossroads between theatre and performance, clicks into gear in an attempt to decipher the world from which it comes.
