Short trailer, 1 min : https://vimeo.com/298723350

This is just a story is a poor theater of today, combining the light of smartphones and the sound of bamboo jaw harps. Caustic and poetic, the relationship with the public is built with humor: a split between stand-up and shamanism.

Today, paradoxically, the obsession with fake news, as opposed to what would be true facts, reinforces the idea that it is possible to have direct access to the truth and then to transmit it. Some would say the truth about the world, others would falsify it.
This is just a story explores the fictional dimension of what is presented as true.

Why are men different from women?
What do we expect from robots and humans for the society of tomorrow?
Why does the sheep look so strange in the famous Balkan myth Mioriţa?

The transition from one language to another, between French and another language (Eng, Ro or De), will allow to transmit an intelligible version of the speech for each person speaking at least one of these two languages. However, it will create spaces of doubt and thus of imagination, will encourage the interpretation of other signs to complete the intellectual comprehension: a story is never understood, it is always re-invented.

The way this show is “marginally” programmed and performed inspired the whole process: www.lamargeheureuse.com
