A prayer before the crack of dawn takes the form of various moments in a vast medieval tableau - a fantasised and joyously absurd Middle Ages, in which sensuality is a language and the hegemony of reason is inoperative.
In this play, the Foulles collective re-invokes the more or less fictitious representations and imaginaries associated with this period by re-appropriating its codes with an intersectional feminist and anti-capitalist prism, thus questioning the notion of History as approached by Western patriarchal capitalism. Foulles tells real or fantasised poetic stories, those too often denied by History, and proposes a danced articulation between History (the Middle Ages in Europe), its representations (fictions of the Middle Ages) and the contemporary with its issues linked to gender, the evolution of our society and the animal world.
