Workshop by Cathrine Dreyfus

The Lie is the delicate story of a little girl who lied at the dinner table one evening. When she enters her bedroom, she finds her lie in the form of a red circle. When she wakes up the next morning, it’s still there, insistent and indelible, and when she goes to bed at night, it’s still there. As the days go by, the circle swells and multiplies, invading her space and even preventing her from breathing properly.

We follow the little girl’s point of view, plunging into her mental space, where a small grain of sand becomes a mountain. It’s an immersion in her inner world, in her swirling obsession full of poisonous mushrooms, dreams, hallucinations, and nightmares. We won’t know a single word of this lie. It’s between him and her, but it could be between all the liars and all the lies in the world...

The Lie is aimed at all audiences, adults and children alike. This has always been the way I’ve conceived my shows: offering various reading grids to reach as many people as possible, provoking discussion, and bringing together the general and the intimate. Based on a narrative structure with the body as support, free interpretation can blossom. Everyone can build their own story within a common dramatic thread. This show is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
