Mamalia

MAMALIA is a walking performance played at nightfall. Led by a guide and equipped with torches, the audience sets off in search of a mysterious creature: the silver Mamalia. Blending dance and theatre, a dancer-performer and an actor-guide lead the public through an immersive nocturnal expedition of fleeting apparitions, traces and encounters, culminating in a final choreographic tableau where the creature and the guide meet in one last dance. The show questions our relationship to the living world, to otherness and to the disappearance of species.

MAMALIA is an immersive work in which the audience does not watch a show — they live an experience.

At nightfall, in a space plunged into darkness, the public is invited to wander in search of a mysterious creature. Armed with torches, the spectators become agents of what they perceive: to illuminate becomes an essential gesture — to search, to reveal, but also to disturb, to observe, to track. Light shapes the relationship between the audience and the creature.

Conceived as a journey adaptable to any venue, indoors or outdoors, the show transforms familiar spaces into unknown territories, ripe for apparition and imagination.

The silver Mamalia appears as a rare creature, perhaps the last of its kind. Through this figure, the show evokes the disappearance of living things and the current ecological upheavals. A hybrid being, on the border between human and animal, it embodies otherness — that which escapes us and which we attempt to understand.

Led by a narrator consumed by his quest, the audience is drawn into an expedition where fascination slowly grows. The guide, obsessed with the creature, drifts toward a loss of bearings, as if the legend he is telling were becoming reality.

The walk ends with an encounter between the guide and the silver Mamalia: one last dance, fragile and intense, an attempt at communication between two worlds. A suspended moment, at once poetic and dangerous.
