TOULOUSE
They are waiting for the pilgrims’ coaches, which may never arrive. All around them are the silhouettes of the invisible – those whom no one looks at any more. In the background, an unexpected ghost: Francis of Assisi. What if he had been born in 1982? Who are the outcasts of the world whom he might have encountered on his journey?
Following *Laïka* and *Pueblo*, *Rumba* is the final instalment of Ascanio Celestini’s ‘trilogy of the poor devils’, blending satire, tenderness and raw poetry. Accompanied by live music from Philippe Orivel, David Murgia, co-founder of the Raoul Collectif, delivers a searing monologue. With *Rumba*, they conclude their exploration of the fringes with an ode to the memory of those forgotten by our society.
