#Jardin créole - 23'
#Klimatik - 24'
The news and the positioning of agricultural places, farmers and consumers of the Martinique territory are at the heart of our subject :
• we collect information from the actors of the Martinican agricultural network that we meet ;
• we explore these sources of information through writing and theatrical and dance improvisation ;
• we create these CHRONICLES using the arts of speech and the performance of the body ;
• we present these CHRONICLES to the public in situ: market, square, schoolyard, agricultural school, farm, fields, shared garden, eco-museum, rural center, etc.
Chroniques agricoles is inspired by PLANTÉ.ES, created in France in 2017 by the Collectif de l'Âtre because of the citizen interest of its team for intensive agriculture, the use of pesticides, monoculture, European policies - and their impact on daily life.

#Terres au féminin - 43'
This third chronicle revolves around the recurring, innovative and determining presence of women in the landscape and terroir of
Martinique. While emphasizing the ramification of the Chroniques agricoles, we seek to promote visibility and exchange through co-construction.
Witness to an affirmation, to an agricultural thought of women, Terres au féminin, is inspired by the sensitive, endearing and current reality of a
rich, generous territory, yet fragile and exhausted. This show is performed by a trio: two dancers and a dancer-actress. A musical composition will accompany the words, the steps, the presences…
