Theatre and singing: Dominique on her own

Marie Burki signs here an initiatory tale about downgrading imbued with great delicacy. Theatre and polyphonic songs accompany the journey of a young woman who, by venturing into the forest, learns to inhabit the world again. A sensitive and luminous show on resilience, nature and the strength of encounters, to be shared with the family.

Through the journey of a young woman who believes she is gradually fading away from society, Marie Burki signs a coming-of-age tale about the downgrading of great delicacy, where theatre, music and poetry invite young and old alike to rediscover the taste of the world. A real little gem to be discovered absolutely. When she is thanked for her work at the Tile Museum, Dominique feels herself becoming more and more transparent. When she also loses her home, she decides to take the bus, leave the city and go into the forest, alone. All alone? Not so sure...
Through encounters, landscapes and seasons, by rediscovering nature, her wandering takes on its full meaning. With infinite accuracy, Marie Burki transforms this story into a real fable about loneliness, marginality, resilience and the ability to be reborn to oneself. The forest then becomes an initiatory territory, a space of metamorphosis where the marvellous can emerge at every turn of the path.
Carried by two performers who take on the roles of narrator, guardian angel and the various characters met by Dominique, the show mixes story, acting, polyphonic songs and original compositions. In a scenography of great simplicity, where a few objects are enough to give birth to a whole universe, Dominique alone celebrates with tenderness the power of encounters, the wonder in front of the living and the courage to compose one's own melody. A luminous, sensitive, humorous and deeply comforting show.
