‘With Mossoux-Bonté ambiguousness, double-meaning, everything which could disturb our perception and feeling is brought into play, with underlying humour and a deluge of visual beauty and sound'. Le Soir

The latest work from Belgium's celebrated Mossoux-Bonté Company brings stunning theatre of images. In the depths of the earth, men and women tear themselves out of the shadows and from the stone in which they were imprisoned. Nuit Sur Le Monde speaks about secrets of the body, the strangeness of existence and the mystery of death. It is the final part of a triptych whose first section, ‘Noli Me Tangere’ (Don't Touch Me) has already been shown to great acclaim, winning the Critics' Prize at the 2007 Mimos Festival.

Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonté have been creating performances at the crossroads of dance and theatre since 1985. Seen in more than thirty countries and also on film, their work explores inexpressible feelings and sensibilities with a strange familiarity that grips the spectator's imagination.

Contains nudity.
