Just as Max strides straight toward the unknown… Suddenly, he slows down; though he was so sure, so free, his body stiffens and stops for a moment to look back at what he has just left, at what he can still faintly make out, at what is about to disappear. This pause, this moment of reflection, lost between a life we have not quite left and the one that perhaps awaits us… This is the feeling that characterizes the sequence we would like to develop during this residency. Set in the second half of the second act of our story, this group of scenes deepens the character of Max as he wanders along the coast. Trying, as best he can, to mourn a relationship he has just left, he walks between land and sea, between certainty and the unknown. When every step raises a question. Do I keep going? Do I turn back?
