How can we bring the story to life through the object?
Through playful exercises, the participants will be invited to work alone or in groups on different aspects : the ‘presence’ of the object, its evocative quality, the relationship of the manipulator to the object, to the audience, to the space, the gaze, the meaningful gesture, the poetic gesture, the word, the rhythm, the embodiment, the narration…
We are an object theatre company. Our credo is “Review your classics”.
To best serve the literary monuments that we adapt, we develop a theatre of characters combining puppets, object theatre, shadows, paper, visual arts and music.
The aesthetics we put forth are raw, bare, small and intimate. The characters of our stories and the scenes of their adventures come from second hand shops and flea markets. We glean them randomly while creating, we come upon them by chance during our tours… Let’s admit it : flea markets have always itched us.
“Object theatr is like the flag bearer of an art form of resistance, more modern than ever, which is to culture what recycling or slow food is to our ways of life: a humble and magnificent side-step.”
