Largely influenced by Francine Châteauvert’s rural roots and upbringing, The Cicada and the Ant is a choreographic work for young and old that casts a glance at the world of art and of agriculture.

The soil, a field, an empty space where anything is possible, where gradually humans settle, build, sow, work, sing and harvest. From the sowing of the seed to the harvest, the production paints a down to earth, poetic vision of the world of the artist and of the small farmer.
