Inspired by Peter Weir's "Picnic at Hanging Rock," DOM-'s "Darkness Picnic" transforms the Maison des Métallos into a poetic bivouac where boundaries between spectator and performer blur. The Italian company explores themes of conservatism, bodily control, and colonial legacies through an immersive, sensory experience.

Attendees can expect a performance where listening and imagination take precedence over certainty. The piece, presented in Italian with French and English surtitles, is part of the Festival d'Automne à Paris. It invites audiences to slow down and inhabit the world differently, creating a shared, politically charged experience.
