Agnès Limbos and Grégory Houben, who has been working with Agnès since 2006, feature "Ressacs", the story of the tragic comedy of people's lives in the era of the so called Modern Capitalism. This performance premieres in Rivoli on 14 and 15 October.

This «Théâtre d'objet », originated in the puppets, the marionettes, where the actor manipulates the show with precise rhythm, both in text and action.

A couple, lost at sea in a small bathtub, lacking direction. They have lost everything: the house, in a beautiful residential area, the car bought on credit, the French garden with "marvellous roses". The bank took it all. Only Jesus can help them, so they think.

While trying to find a solution to their problems, they disembark in a piece of land. Could this be the place to build something of their own? In the evening, they dream of Columbus and caravels.

Agnès Limbos is author, comedian, director, and theatre professor. She founded the Compagnie Gare Centrale in 1984.
