Juste Ciel

Twenty short stories to be told at night before praying
twenty entangled tableaux for a sacred comedy
where the body plays with appearances
and approaches absurdity reciting a rosary of learned gestures.

Juste Ciel was the first collaboration between Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonté. The production defined the contours of the Company's future research. Presented from the start to audiences across the world, from Sub-Saharan Africa to Mexico, it induced the notion of intimacy as a key to meeting others, beyond cultural divides and prejudices. 

The role was revived by Julia Arbey 26 years after its creation, providing an opportunity to revisit the question of Catholicism’s imprint on our behaviour.
