In *Neverland*, the myth of Peter Pan takes a dark turn. Gone is the radiant innocence: the child who refuses to grow up becomes a disturbing figure, trapped in a frozen eternity, unable to accept the passage of time.

Sarah Nemtsov’s music brings this unstable universe to life. Sound effects, whispered voices, dense orchestral textures, electronic bursts, suspended silences: everything comes together to create a sonic drama where electronics extend and transform the instruments of the Ensemble Contrechamps, whose timbres carve out a landscape that is both earthy and fragile.

The stage is organized around a shifting house, which cracks and reconfigures itself, where Wendy splits between adolescence and old age and Captain Hook becomes the embodiment of the fear of time. Neverland blends acting, pantomime, lighting, and costumes in a style where the narrative is embodied.

Under the artistic direction of Julien Chavaz, Neverland offers a poetic and unsettling experience, where music tells as much as words, a sonic allegory of a struggle to survive, accept metamorphosis, and, perhaps, continue to dream.
