CREATION AT THÉÂTRE DE LIÈGE

According to an ancient Walloon tradition that has spanned the ages, to rid oneself of an ailment affecting our body, one would simply rub the head of a nail at the site of the pain before planting it in a tree, which would then absorb our suffering.

the CORRIDOR – a Liège-based creative house celebrating its twentieth year of existence this season – will reexamine this singular tradition of the nail tree in the light of our current world and transform the theater stage into a collective and votive vigil around an imaginary tree, both “druidic” and playful.

The idea is to plant one’s nail to rid oneself of a burden, a suffering, an annoyance, an “excess of” that weighs us down. But also to deposit our wishes, our hopes in order to help us break out of the cycle of dead ends, to restore confidence, joy, robustness, the pleasure of risk.

Deliberately focused on our contemporary concerns (but which may extend far back), L’Arbre à clous unsuspected artistic, philosophical, humorous, and political forms with the desire to believe in possibilities. Activating the powers of imagination to reinvent oneself.
