A woman sits at home in her comfortable armchair. She’s doing nothing special and she’s enjoying it. She observes the small details, cuts out a piece of paper, plays with her hands in the sunlight, and watches the shadows dance. Looking out the window, she sees the city, life, people. Suddenly, her imagination takes flight: it ‘s the beginning of a grand, motionless, joyful, and colorful adventure!
With this show, Mila Baleva creates a visual and plastic theatre that gives pride of place to the absurd and the surreal. To accompany her reveries, she uses the words of the author Sylvain Levey and the music of the singer Léonie Fer.
What passes by my window It’s a return to the essentials, a variation on the joy of being open to the world. In a world where everything moves too fast and adults are running around in all directions, this show reminds us of the simplicity of childhood happiness: marveling at almost nothing and playing at inventing the world.
