REVERS is on networks:

Revers, like the reverse in tennis, the flip side of the coin, or taking life in reverse, and in Revers there is "dream"...

Alice is a very intelligent young girl who loves to understand everything and especially to do everything by the rules. Dynamic and sporty, she only dreams of great victories and gold medals. Winning has become an obsession for her. One night, Alice decides to go for a run under the stars and suddenly finds herself plunged into the midst of Revers, an absurd and poetic kingdom inhabited by a gallery of the most surprising characters: a mascot that dances the boogie, the referee Lewis, the coach Carroll, and of course the Queen of Revers, a tennis champion with 17 medals, who only plays against herself...

A pocket musical with some sports in it created by the company Cie La Boîte à sel as part of its partnership with the Théâtre Ducourneau d'Agen - A conventioned Theatre and Voice Scene.

Full Description

"A dreamlike and musical journey flirting with Lewis Carroll and the combined winter and summer Olympic games"

Revers is a show blending comedy, singing, dance, and movement with five versatile performers on stage: the musicians act, the actresses sing, and everyone enjoys blurring the lines of genre.Like in Anglo-Saxon or American musicals, Revers maintains a dramatic continuity: the songs and “spoken words” advance the action and/or explain the psychology of the characters.


The emphasis on the body, movement, and dance also brings us closer to the "musical" genre and is treated in various ways: danced or mimed songs, sports choreographies, and burlesque inserts.The musical composition of the ensemble is hybrid, reflecting this always surprising and unpredictable land of Revers: electronic music, songs, rap, spoken word, slam, lyrical singing, sound effects, and live sound creation thanks to a large musical carpet equipped with sensors, which is both Alice's path and our greatest instrument. In the dramaturgy of Revers, this musical path is central; that is where everything "takes place".
