ONDES TITRE PROVISOIRE
theatrical research process
ONDES TITRE PROVISOIRE is a theatrical research project aimed at developing playful processes of superimposition and transgression between different ways of investigating reality. Our approach is based on three fundamental pillars that we seek to bring into resonance: Water, Knowledge, Memory.
Water allows us to bring together several major themes that run through our work, in order to explore the evolution of human living conditions and consciousness within the ecosystems that humans traverse and transform, with a view to creating a ‘viable social project’.

How can water enable us to examine a legacy made up of silences, pain and secrets?
How does the scientific community find itself confronted with the problem of knowledge transfer?
How does water become the focus of human concerns, both in material and spiritual terms?
How can complexity be conveyed in a simple and tangible way?
Through what images?
We seek to explore what lies behind the possibilities of uniting languages that are, at first glance, distinct, and to ‘convey’ them through simple, accessible, artisanal and surprising artistic forms. From a formal perspective, our approach involves creating a triptych:
SOIF / A stage production blending speech, sound and movement, narrating the memory of water through a poetic and intimate fiction.
POZZO / An outdoor, anthropological and sensory installation conceived in connection with places of social interaction centred on water – wells, fountains, dykes.
JORDAN / A documentary-fiction project, a research-based collection exploring geopolitical conflicts linked to water – the Jordan River, the Mediterranean, islands.
UNLEASHING POETIC POWER AND CAPACITY TO EXPRESS WHAT
BINARY LOGIC IS NOT ENTIRELY
ABLE TO GRASP
OVERCOMING RATIONALIST PATTERNS IN ORDER TO OBSERVE REALITY WITHOUT PRECONCEIVED AGENDA, AND ALWAYS HAVING TO GAIN SOMETHING FROM IT
RETURNING TO A STATE OF VULNERABILITY, OF TENDERNESS, THAT OF THE HUMAN BEING TOWARDS THEMSELVES, THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND LIFE
