"The thing about death is that you can't talk about it. What you can talk about is life" (Delphine Horvilleur).

On September 14, 2000, Florimond, aged 20, died of meningitis. On stage, he returns to orchestrate his story and that of his parents. With overwhelming energy, he urges them to tell their stories: his last moments, the daily joys, the shared dances, the unsaid and the unacceptable. His voice guides the parents to the volcanic slopes of Japan, the untamed land of his dreams, where their journey becomes a vibrant tribute to life. Intertwined with music, traversed by the pulse of a dormant volcano, SHAKOUL celebrates the intimate bond between the living and the departed. In Hebrew, "shakoul" refers to a branch deprived of its fruit: the sap circulates aimlessly. The show conveys this vital flow with strength, tenderness and humanity. A one-man show that celebrates the power of words and the persistence of the bond beyond loss.
