Facade of the departmental council

Madeleine

Inspired by Proust's famous Madeleine, this scenography offers a sensitive and engaging vision of the Eure-et-Loir.

The caress of wheat in a field, circles in the water of the Mézières-Ecluzelles pond or the lighted windows of the Château de Maintenon are all images and sensations that nourish our childhood dreams and feed our adult nostalgia.

Somewhere between dream and reality, Madeleines invites spectators to rediscover their department in a sensory and emotional way. Here, visual perception becomes almost olfactory or tactile.
