Lavoué reveals the unexpected links between two worlds that seem distant but share gestures, traditions and a history: in the past, sailors took over theatres in winter, putting their mastery of knots, pulleys and teamwork to use on stage. A resident at the Comédie-Française since 2015, the photographer explored behind the scenes, where the stage bridge and the fly loft felt like the gangways of a frigate, and then boarded three emblematic vessels of the French Navy.
