Memento Mori

Co-produced by Luna Morena and La Tortue Noire

Memento Mori is a Latin phrase, which translates into “Remember that you will die.” This production is a theatrical experiment in which actors, objects and puppets all share the stage, to present what is essentially an allegory of our multiple fears of Death. In this uncommon artwork, mankind becomes the witness of the frailty of his own body. Driven by the desire and the necessity to live, a woman desperately tries to find some kind of balance with a crutch while a man tries to resist the weight of a wall which collapses on him…

The performances of the actors and puppeteers magnifies the evocative power of the spectacle’s images. The audience witnesses particles of human existence which remind us that Life needs to be celebrated.
