Adaptation : Alexandra Lacroix et François Rougier
Staging : Alexandra Lacroix
Muscial direction : Christophe Grapperon


Everything begins at table, with thirteen men: one, surrounded by his loved ones... At the supper, static and frontal picture, the issues of betrayal replay during a family meal nowadays.  A contemporary scene, where the protagonists happily come together, feel at one with another, look at each other, distrust, spie each other..."One of them betrays", says Saint Luc. Several of them? Maybe all of them...It depends on the point of view! An exploration incarnated in three Passions of Bach, who questions, reveal the humanity of his church music and gives spirituality a sound on stage, the text, the bodies with a musique that affects our deepest parts...
