“I’m dreaming, I know I’m dreaming, but there’s nothing I can do”, Georges Perec wrote. What happens when child dream? Towards which strange lands, disturbing and familiar, do their night ramblings take them? Mike Kenny, great connoisseur of the “theater in school environment” and considered as one of the major British authors of theater for a young audience, is now translated and played all over the world. Partner with the director Marc Lainé, with whom he was nominated for the 2009 “show for a young audience” Moliere award, The electric Night, he continues his French adventure by following the steps of a dreaming child. With him, we pace up and down mazes of endless corridors, we go down infinite staircases and we go through cerebral landscapes where everything is upside down. In this fascinating chaos, the dream looks like an enigma. The child is prisoner of a weird riddle he doesn’t understand but has to quickly solve, because otherwise, he’ll never wake up again… At night, a fierce dream promises to be a chimerical and playful epic. The Franco-American folk-rock band Moriarty composed the show soundtrack and its members are characters of the story. At night, a fierce dream explores the naïve and dizzy universe of child’s nightmares, by a continuous mirror game. But who’s dreaming in the end?
