Hiboux

With humor and derision, Hiboux brings us together around new ways of looking at our death rituals and our ghosts.

Between the transhumanist fantasy of defeating death, the injunction to mourn and the medical asepticization of the end of life, death seems to disappear from our lives. However, in spite of rationality, the standardization of funeral procedures, in spite of the technological advances of cryonics chambers, we continue to die. And the memory of our lost continues to haunt us. Where have our ghosts gone? In the limbo of Dante's Divine Comedy or in the scroll of a Facebook profile? Hiboux is a contemporary mass that explores our ways of "doing" ritual and our representations of mourning. Hiboux is also a choral story that tells us and invents us. Around a round table, three musician-actors and a funeral counsellor explore the relationships that unite us with the departed. They invite the audience to dive into a world where the living and the dead mix their respective heritages to better live together. A world where we speak with tenderness and humor about death, beliefs, rites and ceremonies, spiritualism, past and future, immortality and eternity.

Hiboux will be the occasion to collectively bury a spectator, to exchange with Gilles Deleuze, Thomas Edison or Victor Hugo and to meet the ghost that we will become. And the advantage of doing a show about death is that nobody knows what happens next, so we can say whatever we want.
