From renaissance to effervescence

Printemps marmelade blasts Botticelli’s masterpiece in a jubilant collision of Renaissance poetry and raw punk energy. On stage, elegance rubs shoulders with rebellion, delicacy flirts with the absurd, and humor appears where you least expect it.

This show, aimed at teenagers aged 14 and over, doesn’t just revisit “Le Printemps”: it transgresses it, shakes it up, reinvents it. Here, bodies explode, emotions overflow, and each character reveals his or her flaws, impulses and contradictions.

It’s a dazzling mix in which oranges, recurring symbols, remind us of our capacity to let go of our peels, to reveal what bubbles up inside us, and to welcome the unexpected part of the other. They become a sign of everything that mixes and invents itself through contact with others.

Printemps marmelade invites us not to remain mere spectators, but to let ourselves be surprised, to question, to plunge into this boiling marmalade. Here, each and every one of us moves forward, unvarnished, and the encounter takes place in what overflows, escapes and surprises.

Printemps marmelade is an embodied reflection on identity, the quest for meaning, social cohesion and joyful, desperate revolt. An invitation to explore the complexity of human relationships, to let anger and joy coexist, and to celebrate vulnerability as strength.

Here, hybridity reigns: classical and punk, sweetness and bite, introspection and exuberance. The show becomes a physical manifesto for “being together”, a cry for freedom in which everyone embraces their place, their questions, their intimate echoes. In short: an experience to be lived, felt and questioned – without ever sinking into cliché or easiness.

Printemps marmelade: three impulses – that of the heart, that of the body and that of exuberance – to compose, together, an ode to life that makes no apologies for being (sometimes) irreverent.

Show for teenagers aged 14 and over.
