Chroniques

“Among the immortals, every act (and every thought) is the echo of others that preceded it in the past, with no visible beginning, or the faithful presage of others that in the future will repeat it to a vertiginous degree.” – Jorge Luis Borges

Trapped in a labyrinth of time, five figures mutate and clash in their attempt to defy immortality. Their lives unfold against the backdrop of a vast, sulphurous landscape, told through a series of chronicles. Is this landscape the foundation for new creations, or does it consist of the remnants of what once was?

Confronted with other laws and physical phenomena, their bodies reveal different behaviours and ways of being, without knowing whether they are in the twilight or the dawn of their existence. We witness a physical metamorphosis in a profound and poetic dimension.

New generation of performers

Chroniques premiered in June 2025 at the Théâtre National de Nice and is now touring Europe. This performance has been created and performed by a new group of five performers with strong personalities and experience as both performers and creators, displaying great virtuosity and naturalness: Simon Bus, Seungwoo Park, Balder Hansen, Boston Gallacher and Charlie Skuy.
