MURMURES

PROPOSAL & ARTISTIC INTENTIONS

MURMURES is rooted in a space where intimacy becomes scenic material. The piece explores what unfolds behind our faces, in those discreet zones where the thoughts we hold back, censor, or dream of letting emerge are born.

Through the journeys of four performers, MURMURES reveals an inner landscape shaped by tensions, resistances, and desires for emancipation. Their secret voices brush against one another, contradict each other, sometimes support each other, gradually forming a fragile polyphony in which each one searches for their place.

Nourished by personal stories, everyday observations, and echoes of our contemporary world, the piece questions the forms of oppression—visible or invisible—that shape our behaviors. It also interrogates freedom: the one we claim, the one we lose, the one that circulates between bodies when words are no longer enough.

MURMURES brings to the surface what shimmers in gestures, breaths, and silences. It invites us to listen to what moves through us, what connects us, and what continues to vibrate even when everything seems to fall quiet. 

Presented in two complementary versions, MURMURES unfolds as a 

performative installation, 

where the audience is invited into a sensory and introspective experience, and as a 

stage performance,

designed for the theater, where the language of the body becomes a vehicle for transmission and collective resonance. 

Through a bodily, visual, and auditory journey, MURMURES seeks to capture the essence of murmurs, those subtle yet powerful voices, and amplify them so that they can finally be heard.
