LES NUITS TROUBLES
Les Nuits Troubles (Troubled Nights in English) is a contemporary & interdisciplinary theatre performance combining live video, sound & text, stage magic, and physical theatre to explore dissociation and perceptual instability. Moving along between contemporary theatre and multimedia performance, the piece invites the audience into a shifting psychological space where reality fractures and imagination becomes both refuge and trap.
