Breaking away from the rigid structures of the stage, Marlène Saldana and Jonathan Drillet are notorious rogues. They’ll embrace everything, from theater and dance to music and performance art. Marlène Saldana has worked with the likes of Christophe Honoré, Boris Charmatz and Sophie Pérez, Jonathan Drillet crossed paths with Phia Ménard, Hubert Colas and Jonathan Capdevielle. Together they form an inseparable, beautiful and unhinged duo whose talent Chaillot audiences admired with their piece Showgirl

Ten cats living peacefully sheltered from the outside world, raised by a “Mom” cherished by some but hated by others, are busy taking stock of the human species. Climate, the economy, technology, politics, foresight... opinions are varied, disagreements profound, and yet we have to try to live together. 
So that even the smallest kitten can contribute to a desirable future, they will sing and dance their fears, doubts and hopes, between modern jazz ballet, musical comedy, minimalist dance, trips to the litter box, games, toileting and rest.

 

Le 9 janvier, la rencontre avec l'équipe artistique à l'issue du spectacle sera modérée par la journaliste Bélinda Mathieu.

Des chats qui sont là, dorment, mangent, sont en communauté, jeunes ou vieux, voient un tas de choses se passer au coeur de la politique et se mettent à réfléchir à l'espèce humaine qu'ils ont sous leurs yeux. Ce sont des animaux politiques aussi. (...) Ils ont des discussions sur la politique, des idées diverses, extrême-droite, gauche, activisme écologique... Ils parlent de leur maîtresse qu'ils n'ont pas choisie. Ils cherchent un futur désirable.
