A train station

In the spring of 1900, American choreographer Isadora Duncan arrived in the port of Cherbourg with her mother. She was not yet famous, but was about to become so. At the time, the port welcomed a large number of migrants in transit to the Americas. It was a strange crossroads: millions of Europeans of all origins and social classes dreamed of a better life on the other side of the Atlantic, while Isadora Duncan, a penniless American from the West Coast, dreamed of a better life in Europe... The transatlantic ferry terminal didn't yet exist, and it would later become a meeting place for both migrants and celebrities from all over the world, from Charlie Chaplin to Sugar Ray Robinson, Salvador Dalí, William Faulkner, Béla Bartók, Elizabeth Taylor... Witness the grandiose spaces that have survived the passage of time, and the inscriptions still visible today, written in several languages. The performance will offer a short history, danced and sung, of this mythical place which is now a museum without travelers - or rather : a train station with mere visitors.
