After The Walls (utopia)

The last part of the Trilogie des parenthèses, After TheWalls (UTOPIA/DYSTOPIA) continues to explore the links between individuals and where they live, and one last time tackles the issue of the isolation of mankind.

UTOPIA is a fictional conference, a theatrical celebration,during the course of which an architect shares his visions of the future: an unprecedented architectural dream, a real utopian explosion, as a solution to the social, demographic and ecological challenges of our era.

In After the Walls (UTOPIA) a speaker shakes upper conceived ideas on contemporary habitat. A cheeky and quite insane theatrical piece by a Belgian playwright who dares (…) It seems impossible while watching this show not imagining a sequel or response. Anne-CécileVandalem intended it.
