Quelques rêves oubliés

From 16 years old

Performance created on January 9, 2018 at Le 140, Brussels

It is a winter night, aboard a train heading toward an unknown destination.
A popular singer, her young assistant, and her manager are stuck together in a small carriage, forced into a strange closeness, while an undercurrent of romantic tension weaves between them.
Perhaps they are setting off on tour, far from home?
The journey is long, and they seem weary of a mission they are pursuing without much enthusiasm.
Rocked by the steady rhythm of the rails and wrapped in the immaculate light of the stars, they surrender to strange confessions, from which fragments of aborted dreams resurface.

Written in 1994 by one of Japan’s most fascinating contemporary playwrights, this phantasmagorical play captures the very essence of Japanese sensibility, where the gravest matters are spoken of lightly, and the most trivial matters with great gravity.

Blending the ordinary and the dreamlike, the cosmos and the prosaic, Camille Panza, through her staging of A Few Forgotten Dreams, reveals an unknown world without preconceptions or fixed points, a floating world where the strangest things arise from everyday life.
