Hide to Seek + Limbo Pass 15€

Limbo - A forgotten intermediate place or condition between two extremes.  
Limbo - An imaginary place for lost, forgotten or unwanted things or people. 
Limbo - A Caribbean dance in which the dancers, with their backs bent, pass under a bar. Of uncertain origin, it is said to be linked to the terrible experience in the holds of slave ships during the crossing.

Because those he grew up with seemed paralyzed in a limbo in which history had placed them, Victor de Oliveira creates a narrative mosaic on stage that, among other elements, traces the intimate history of a mixed-race man born in Mozambique. This intimate show questions origins, mixed race, slavery, colonialism and exile. It is a performative solo, freed from chronology and based on a web of memories, interviews, readings and encounters. Between autofiction and social fiction, it questions the reasons for historical denialism, the disputes over collective memory, and the experiences of growing up in uncertainty. 
Victor de Oliveira, an actor and director born in Mozambique in 1971, has lived in Paris since 1994, where he has worked with important directors such as Wajdi Mouawad and Serge Tranvouez. As well as taking part in productions such as Des Héros and Incendios, he also teaches theater at the Sorbonne-Nouvelle University and the Cannes School of Theater.
