Leslie Mannes is a partner artist of Théâtre Varia.
SOUS LE VOLCAN features five individuals seeking new forms of cooperation and new imaginaries. Caught up in a process of collective transformation, they surrender to the fervor of an endless dance, a dance blending unity and uniqueness, fury and tenderness, as a final attempt to honor the beauty of life. Through this new creation, which favors connection, support, and mutual aid over individualism and competition, Leslie Mannès invites us to a
secret ceremony of healing amid the ashes of our fears. What if this act of ‘being together’ could be a way to face our traumas?
