HASARD ENSEMBLE
HASARD ENSEMBLE - The twinning
Hasard Ensemble is the name of the twinning project between Barbe à Papa Teatro and the French company De l'âme à la vague. In 2022 the companies met at the Festival Off Avignon, at the L'Atelier 44 theater, which hosted the shows: Il coro di Babeleand Lettre aux paysans. This first meeting, which happened by chance, was decisive in starting a path that, in 2023, led to the twinning project, sanctioned by the Manifesto of Sousse, a manifesto of intent that takes its name from the Tunisian locality where it was written in October 2023.
In 2024 De l'âme à la vague will be present in Sicily and, in the summer, the companies will meet again at the Festival Off Avignon.
The three-year project Fiumi dello stesso mare / Rivières de la même mer is in the works, which foresees a territorial exchange between the companies, with a view to a shared creation. In May 2025, Il coro di Babele will be staged in Saint-Étienne and Rive-de-Gier.
THE SOUSSE MANIFESTO
Because the sound of the waves will always lull our consciences.
Because theatre and the sea are synonymous.
Because our words, our voices, and our bodies are to theatre what the waves are to the sea.
Because one day in Avignon we understood that our meeting was not a coincidence.
Because theatre is one of the best ways, if not the best, to try to take care of a world that needs universal understanding.
Because we recognized ourselves in the common belief that art and theatre are our form of resistance in this world, strong but not violent, sweet and light as cotton candy, we recognized ourselves as welcoming and passionate human beings, souls of the same sea, in the desire to fight with the strength of a wave and the sweetness of sugar.
Because we believe in world unity, and we know that the Mediterranean Sea is one of its most faithful ambassadors.
Because wherever we are on Earth, our rivers flow into the same sea.
Because we are all rivers of the same sea.
Because the sea is unique, every wave is different.
Because Tunisia had to be the country that would reunite us, we who come from France and Italy, from Sicily and the Loire, from Saint-Étienne and Palermo, Rome, Catania, Valencia, Ferrara, Partinico.
We Chiara, Claudio, Federica, Grégory, Nathan, Roberta and Totò
Declare that our respective companies,
Barbe à Papa Teatro and De l'âme à la vague,
Are twinned, with the sea and the sound of its waves as Witnesses,
We declare our commitment to create together and to ensure that theatre brings us even closer together.
With all our gratitude to the Mediterranean Sea.
In Sousse,
