Concluding their cycle of work on family, Oui ! (I do!) by Caravane Compagnie is an immersive performance portraying a typical French wedding day, featuring city hall, downtime, the banquet and the dance. Spectators become guests as they follow the various steps almost in “real” time, visiting the actual places.
This ritual gathering where families seek to look their best is an opportunity to explore the difference between the ideal family and real family, with the aim of taking a thought-provoking look at the relational mechanisms that often guide us despite ourselves.
We see the bride and groom, the parents, the bride’s mother-in-law and the two witnesses, in a portrayal of a traditional family, representing different perspectives of this special day and its unchanging choreography.
