Discover The Impossible Light at the Centaur Theatre
Presented as part of the 21st Festival international de Casteliers
THE IMPOSSIBLE LIGHT
What if light revealed our darkest sides?
In The Impossible Light, Callen lives his life through screens. A computer programmer, rock star and YouTuber, he seems to have everything under control. But when his partner tells him she is pregnant, his world is turned upside down. He is plunged into a sea of doubt, confronted with a selfish mirror image of himself.
To catch his breath, he decides to isolate himself for a weekend and explore a local cave. But when he falls and finds himself trapped inside, a living light appears and guides him, illuminating the dark corners of his soul that he has always refused to see.
A haunting and hilarious performance, at the crossroads of contemporary theatre and immersive experience, where poetry, introspection, and light come together to reveal the invisible and challenge our self-perception.
Presented as full-body puppet and object theatre, in English with French surtitles.
