BASTARDLAND

A street-based western in the making, somewhere between a collective fable, landscapes traversed and imaginations to be rebuilt.

With *Bastardland*, the 1 Watt theatre company creates a fable for the public space, somewhere between a Western, street theatre and a collective narrative. In a landscape marked by the traces of the past, characters emerge: forgotten figures, hybrid silhouettes, multiple voices, bodies in motion. The show plays with the conventions of the Western to tell a different story: the erasure of a people, the violence of dominant narratives, the boundaries that are imposed, but also the need to forge new shared imaginaries.
Still in development, *Bastardland* is taking shape through residencies, research and experimentation, both on stage and outdoors. *Scènes Croisées de Lozère* is supporting this research as part of its programme to promote writing for the public space.
