L'Enfant Qui... (The Child Who...)
T477438670
Born in France about 70 years ago, the artist Jephan de Villiers was an ill child who spent most of the time alone in his bedroom. Frequently suffering from high fevers and strange delusions, he was given severe treatments by doctors from a young age. Inspired by Jephan's story, Theatre D'un Jour have re-imagined this young boy's artistic universe that was born from solitary walks in the woods, picking up nearly dead things (leaves, wooden sticks, mushrooms...) in order to give them a new chance.
L'Enfant Qui...The Child Who...) conjures up a world that speaks of sickness, memory and the strength of the imagination.
