One Shot Train

François Sarhan never knows exactly where the line between reality and fantasy runs. Sometimes he invents a composer who has anticipated the entire music history of the 20th century, sometimes he puts a trio in a museum showcase, sometimes he argues with himself about a sentence like "Imagination is subversive, because it proclaims what is possible against reality" (look up on YouTube under Sarhan Situation 7).
In its new station theater, the audience, divided into small groups, wanders through the echo room and discovers hidden angles, stories and sounds with the help of headphones, videos, speakers and musicians.
