BABEL
Fanny Fortage, Harry Clunet-Farlow, Sara Didierjean/ France / 2023
BABEL is a « dance-umentary », a documentary you can dance to. Conceived as an immersive and interactive audiovisual concert, it is inspired by the biblical myth of the Tower of Babel to explore Humanity in its diversity and unity.
Echoing current affairs, this story deals with the difficulties of communicating despite a common goal, and the deep desire to speak the « same » language again. This troubled topicality, in which particularisms and withdrawal into oneself take precedence over living together is at the core of the topics covered in this new story of Babel.
Through 6 different interpretations of the myth, each occurring in a different country with a local narrator, the audience will go on a musical and visual journey, where only the sum of these perspectives will allow them to understand the full story.
