Giant evanescent figures, dressed in long coats, the Totems wander through the crowd. They attract you, brush against you, caress you until they sometimes envelop you. Their movements are made of controlled imbalances and incessant swirls. They vibrate, dance and play on rhythmic and joyful music.
The light that inhabits them is the witness of their inner life, governed by a Passenger who animates them.
Walking part
Fixed part
At the end of the journey, the members of this imaginary tribe will experience their rite of passage to adulthood, which the audience will be invited to witness.
SHE, their initiatory guide, is there, SHE is waiting for them. It is time for the Passengers to separate themselves from their Totems that they have always carried. Dance, games, love, joy are at the heart of this liberation. At the end of this ritual of independence, the light and the breath of the Totems are extinguished to make way for new Passengers.
