Inspired by the thoughts of writer Baptiste Morizot, Clara Hedouin freely adapts his essay Manières d'être vivant into a sensitive and luminous piece of philosophical theater.
In the Vercors mountains, a group of hikers scans the birds on their way to Africa. They count swallows, passerines and titmice, marvelling at their beauty, before setting off in search of the mountains' most legendary inhabitant: the wolf. As night falls, a howl is heard. Is the animal trying to make contact? With nature as their only backdrop, six performers lead the investigation. As humans, how can we explore the environment inhabited by the wolf? How do we adapt to this wild world? How do we build a relationship with this living creature? Alternating between action and reflection, the actors gradually transform the stage into a vast philosophical terrain. They sweep us along in a whirlwind of ideas, in a cascade of metaphors that redefine what it means to "live".
