An artistic, scientific, and human utopia.

My-Name-Is is the name of the child who grew up in a utopian space, the Worksites of Eternity. This place brings together a community of artists, scientists, and historians who never cease to conduct research and pursue projects with such utopian ambitions that they are impossible to realize. Alone on stage, the actor and playwright Mathieu Genet, directed by Audrey Bonnet, assumes the role of narrator, character, dancer, stage manager and museum guide. He works from a world of absurd encounters between beings who attempt to sculpt the void, master the present moment, compose a hymn for all of humanity, or build shelters in which to lose themselves…

The show is performed in French. Show duration is 1 hour, 15 minutes.
