Tempus Fugit is a performance that questions the very nature of time—its fleeting passage, its grip on us, and our sometimes desperate relationship with it. Written by Jean-Pierre Jouglet, the project unfolds as a hybrid scenic device, blending theater, dance, text, and music into a form where the absurd intertwines with poetry, lightness with tragedy, and playfulness with depth.

Yet this is not just a performance about time; it is also a performance that constantly struggles to exist, interrupting itself, veering off course, hesitating—because there is never enough time to make it happen. A knowing wink to all the creations that never came to be, the thwarted projects, and the works left in limbo.

And yet, time passes, and the audience is here. So something must be done. We must go somewhere! Through direct, humorous, tender, and offbeat dialogue with the audience, the creative team shares their doubts, intuitions, flashes of trial, and failures—the very elements that give life to the artistic process. What was meant to stay backstage becomes the raw material of the performance itself.

Tempus Fugit embraces a porous, participatory form, where the theatrical act unfolds in real time. The audience is invited to experience the making of the scene, in a dance between fiction and reality.
