Everyone has got their reasons

Everyone Has Got Their Reasons brings together voices from different parts of the world to give new resonance to Jean Renoir’s celebrated line:

« Sur cette terre, il y a une chose effroyable, c’est que tout le monde a ses raisons. »
— La Règle du jeu (1939)

The performance is currently presented in the restrooms of public and private institutions around the world. By entering an intimate yet public space, the work transforms the restroom into a place of listening, encounter and reflection.
