On April 24 and 25, Compagnie Linga premiered Land of Hope at Théâtre de l’Octogone.

Created by Katarzyna Gdaniec and Marco Cantalupo, the piece draws inspiration from the work of Italian poet Alda Merini — an unconventional and fearless voice whose writing continues to inspire through its intensity, freedom and humanity.

Bringing together seven performers — Aude-Marie Bouchard, Natalia Filowiat, Kinda Gozo, Lucrezia Panza, Thaïs Robin, Nathalie Schmidt and Cindy Villemin — Land of Hope celebrates individuality transformed into collective force. Through movement, presence and shared energy, the stage becomes a space of power, imagination and poetic expression.

With an original score by Mathias Delplanque, Philippe Foch and Marco Cantalupo, lighting design by German Schwab, and costumes by Geneviève Mathier, this new creation offers a vibrant and deeply human vision of togetherness.
