How can we tell prehistory without projecting our current notions and values onto it, while being as accurate as possible in the teaching of researchers?

Starting point for our next creation, these questions led us to imagine frictions between art and science. We are planning a year of research on prehistory, divided into different working periods, with the appropriate scientific community. It is about immersing ourselves in the mental, material and environmental universe of those who think and interpret this period, in order to forge artistic, documented and sensory material.

Meet scientists, researchers, speakers; live experiences alongside them. We position ourselves in the scientific world as active learners who enter into a dialogue with experts and can take part in their research, such as on an excavation site for example, or an introduction to the creation of fire, at the size of the flint… We wish to garner a lived experience that is as much intellectual as it is manual.

What interests us a posteriori from the experimental research process is to question our present time by exploring the ancestral time of humanity, to imagine how our distant ancestors created society. Questioning yesterday's questions from our knowledge of today. Not a reconstruction of the ancient age, but rather a quest for a possibility and a plausible “how”… fragmentary.

We do not yet know what our play site will be, natural or urban. We want a medium like drawing or painting, fire, ritual... To offer our audiences a theatrical, sensitive and organic experience, by staging the transformation of matter and the societalization of humans.
