Inspired by artist residencies in a French hospital for children with multiple and severe neurological difficulties, this creation gives voice to the experience of being without hearing, sight, or language. Using dance, music and theatre, the piece explores with beauty a nd subtlety the experiences, thoughts and sensations of a group of enigmatic young people. d(ARE) is a unique dance piece performed from inside a suspended glass laboratory bell jar. HERE BE LIONS explores a mystery space filled with cloud where eight intertwining voices from the hospital can be heard. Hypnotic, uplifting and deeply affecting, this project is supported by the Institut Français as part of the "Théâtre Export" programme and was presented at the 66th Festival d'Avignon.
