Printemps marmelade

Printemps marmelade detonates Botticelli’s masterpiece in a jubilant collision between Renaissance poetry and raw punk energy. On stage, elegance rubs shoulders with rebellion, delicacy flirts with the absurd, and humor appears where least expected.

This performance, designed for teenagers aged 14 and up, doesn’t just revisit “Primavera”; it transgresses, shakes up, and reinvents it. Here, bodies explode, emotions overflow, and each character reveals their flaws, impulses, and contradictions.

It’s a dazzling blend where oranges, recurring symbols, remind us of our capacity to shed our peels, to unveil what’s bubbling within us, and to embrace the unexpected part of the other. They become the sign of everything that mixes and invents itself through contact with others.

Printemps marmelade invites everyone to not simply be a spectator, but to let themselves be surprised, to question, and to dive into this boiling marmalade. Here, everyone moves openly, without pretense, and the encounter plays out in what overflows, escapes, and surprises.

Printemps marmelade is an embodied reflection on identity, the search for meaning, social cohesion, and joyful, desperate revolt. It’s an invitation to explore the complexity of human relationships, to allow anger and joy to coexist, and to celebrate vulnerability as a strength.

Here, hybridity reigns: classical and punk, sweetness and bite, introspection and exuberance. The performance becomes a physical manifesto for “being together,” a cry for freedom where everyone embraces their place, their questions, their intimate echoes. In short: an experience to live, to feel, to question – without ever falling into cliché or easy answers.

Printemps marmelade: three impulses — that of the heart, that of the body, and that of exuberance — to compose, together, an ode to life that doesn’t apologize for being (sometimes) irreverent.
