The new creation by cie.toula limnaios is inspired by the motif of the »Ship of Fools«. This dates back to Plato, but has become an increasingly burning theme in literature and art from the Middle Ages to the present day.

»la nef des fols« allows us to think in different directions.It remains unclear whether the protagonists represent an exuberant society that is eagerly navigating a pilotless ship that has already lost its course, or whether they are trying to escape disaster and danger. On their journey into the unknown, subject to the paradox of total freedom and complete imprisonment at the same time, they frenetically strive forward.

In an almost surrealist allegory of the vices of our time, cie. toula limnaios searches for the element that creates community in an increasingly merciless world. Violence is mixed with moments of light and hope, while despite all the tragedy, there is always an underlying beauty to the poetic images.
