Description

A theatrical experience as fascinating as it is disturbing, The Wave is an ode to awareness.<div> In a high school, a teacher launches an experiment to show his students how a dictatorship is born. Discipline, group, symbol, salute—"The Wave" takes shape. But what was meant to remain a game gradually spirals out of control. Inspired by a true story, The Wave delves into the heart of the mechanisms of indoctrination and questions our relationship to power, the group, and violence.</div><div><br></div><div> This show is clearly of public interest. Based on the true story of Ron Jones, this artistic adaptation goes even further, while strictly adhering to the foundations of what this professor from Palo Alto launched in 1967, and his loss of control... Like some peoples before him... And after him?</div><div><br></div><div> The Wave is a continuation of the work its director has been doing with her company, Les Chiens Andalous. Working to explore "youth through and at the heart of major contemporary political and social issues," she puts us on high alert. She reminds us that a dictatorship is always possible, and that theatre can help us watch for its signs.</div>
