Amathia
Blick Théâtre
(France)
Amathia is the first part of a triptych entitled Se Krisis which explores the vast notion of public service, through three themes: national education, public hospitals and culture. Three essential sectors that contribute to the solidarity, social and cultural cohesion of a society. With the help of human-sized puppets, Amathia talks about these teachers, those who elbow their way through a maze of corridors lined with lockers, wear out their voices in countless classrooms, go up and down kilometers of stairs, walk through playgrounds, dodging balls and taunts…

Gourmandise
Compagnie Les Bas-bleus
(France)
In the text Mange ! by F. Chaffin, Mange is a little girl devoured by curiosity. To satisfy this appetite, she swallows everything in her path with envy. Philosopher and funny, she is often irreverent and perfectly free from the shackles of self-righteousness and adult logic. The audience, like the characters in the story, plunges right inside her body. Accompanied by various foods which will be used to him then as seats, the public is invited to be swallowed by Mange.

Cantique aquatique
Théâtre d’Illusia
(France)
Cantique aquatique is about water, the source of all life and the origin of humanity. It will be about the ocean and its plastics. In this show, the aquatic puppets, inspired by age-old Asian techniques, are partly sculpted from wood or made from latex, but are also constructed from plastic waste collected at each stage of creation.

À ta place
