With Mars, composer Jennifer Walshe presents an extraordinary stage experience, blending opera, theater, and performance. The audience is invited to embark on a true space journey to the planet Mars, a universe filled with quirky humor, unexpected situations, and overwhelming stage energy.
Here is the story: four astronauts and an artificial intelligence software interface are confined in the cockpit of a spacecraft for nine months during a mission to Mars. As they cross the endless abyss of space, tensions rise, relationships are tested, and to pass the time, episodes of the series Desperate Housewives are watched and re-watched.
Upon arrival on the Red Planet, they face isolation, sinister ideologies, the prospect of extraterrestrial life, and a shift toward an authoritarian team management. Behind this cosmic fantasy, Mars also opens a space for reflection on our current world: our ways of life, our obsessions, our vulnerabilities. It is a work that makes you smile as much as it makes you think. A lively, stimulating show: a space odyssey not to be forgotten!
