Planète Licorne
Théâtre la Licorne
(France)
Claire Dancoisne is setting up her semi-trailers on the Place Ducale with some of her curiosities (shows, exhibitions, impromptu events, meetings, guest companies). It’s a space where the fantastic meets the ordinary, where extracts from the story of La Licorne meet a present full of surprises. A fairground installation open to the city, where heavy and light objects invite passers-by to take part in an unusual journey.

Le rêve d’une ombre
La main d’œuvres
(France)
Le rêve d’une ombre (The dream of a shadow) is a link between a dreamlike universe and the world of today. It is a question of body, soul and reflection. A mise en abîme of the shadow and its double in front of a sharp mirror reflecting only in black and white, in shadow and light.

Psaumes pour Abdel
Laura Fedida
(France)
Four performers including a guitarist. A telephone booth in the middle of a burnt landscape. Gendarmes’ glove puppets. It’s a small apocalyptic machine, rebellious and sad. To the music of Joe Dassin, in the middle of a rave party.

L’homme qui rit
Théâtre la Licorne
(France)
A great baroque epic, The Man Who Laughs is one of Victor Hugo’s great novels. Fairground theatre and the manipulation of objects, it is a whole universe that mixes the fairy tale, the horror film, theatrical fantasy, the most implacable cruelty and offbeat humour.

Un opéra de papier
Le Fil rouge théâtre
(France)
What does it mean to live? To come into the world? Where are we before we are born? Where do we go when we die? Meeting people at both ends of life. Young age and old age. Towards the beginning and towards the end. Mixing the smooth and the crumpled in a Paper Opera.

Tierkreis

What is man’s place in the cosmos? Humour, a bit of cruelty and a lot of tenderness are all part of this creation for young audiences, the result of a collaboration between a musical ensemble and a puppet company.
