They are seven rather old characters
\nwho mistakenly left the nursing home where they were staying.
\nThe emergency exit was left ajar,
\nso why not try an adventure?
\nTo leave and reconnect with the life that pulsates,
\nwith the heart beating wildly.
\nIf the gestures are clumsy, the pace fragile,
\nthe memory flickering,
\nwhat is it that prevents one from feeling, right here,
\nright now, totally alive?<\/p><\/blockquote>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”color” padding_top_multiplier=”3x” padding_bottom_multiplier=”3x” columns_gap=”60″ bg_color=”#f7f7f2″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″]

The action takes place in an urban environment, using a wide street, crossroads or public squares. The route of approximately 300 metres is built around 5 fixed scenes. The vanishing lines are used for the arrival and departure of the actors.<\/span><\/h5>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1621066665224{padding-bottom: 32px !important;}”]Emergency Exit<\/em> and Vanishing Point<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>are two shows that were created in 2012 under the generic title Beautiful Escape<\/em>. They have been created in collaboration with the performers. These shows are built around a central question:<\/p>\n

What does it mean to grow old?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1619164075656{padding-bottom: 32px !important;}”]In 1980, there were 3 million people over 75 years old in France and more than 6 million in 2020. It will reach 12 million in 2050. In the course of a century we have collectively gained 30 years of life expectancy, more than in the previous 5,000 years…<\/p>\n

But beyond biological markers, what does it mean to be old?
\nIs age alone a boundary?
\nWill we grow old like our elders or will we find our own ways of growing old?
\nWhat do we know about this age that we euphemistically call “senior”?
\nBehind the question “What does it mean to grow old?” lies another question loaded with mixed emotions: “How do we grow old?”<\/p>\n

“Emergency Exit” conveys the idea of a desirable ageing. If growing old implies mourning and renunciation, a rebirth can also be imagined at any age.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
