After The Walls (UTOPLA) is the final piece of the Trilogie des parentheses, directed by the fabulous actress Anne-Cécile Vandalem. Her work tackles the topic of isolation and of the grip of dream on reality. You must add to that evidently the reality of the home. People identify with the place they live in to make a sort of monster, made of rock and flesh, of furniture and ideas, of hope and space. Utopia is halfway between the conference and the play, in which an architect tells us about his vision of future and asks the audience about their relationship between home and dream. He also promises an unprecedented utopian architectural dream as a solution to the social, demographic and ecological challenges of our time.
