Le point du départ (The Starting Point) is a journey in itself – one of misunderstandings, of attempts to connect and of efforts to translate what slips through our grasp. The performance unfolds in this in-between space, where language falters, interpretation goes off course and absurdity, confusion and humour become unexpected tools for encounter. Blending open-air theatre with sculptural installation, Le point du départ is both a shared adventure and a mosaic of fleeting moments, figures and collective impulses. By questioning how much distance is needed to truly meet one another, and what we gain by trying, Supersurface offers a tender reflection on otherness, uncertainty and the fragile beauty of human connection.

Specially adapted for far°, this version invites you to gather in Cour des Marchandises and walk together toward the “point du départ”, the starting point, between the sky and the hillside.

  • Three actors are wearing blue fabric jumpsuits. They have brown wigs and fabric shoe covers. Their outfits look a bit like hospital uniforms. On the left, there are stacked cardboard boxes, and behind them, a huge pile of gravel.
