Le Mensonge (The Lie) is the delicate story of a little girl who lied one evening at the dinner table. When she goes into her bedroom, she finds her lie in the form of a red circle. The next day when she wakes up, the circle is still there, insistent, indelible, and when she goes to bed at night, it is still there.
As the days go by, the circle grows, multiplies, invades her space, and even prevents her from breathing properly.
“Le Mensonge is for everyone, adults and children alike. That has always been my approach to creating my shows: to offer different interpretations so that I can reach as many people as possible and spark discussion by combining the general with the personal.” Catherine Dreyfus, choreographer
