La Neige sur les cils
(France)

The show “Tell me where you went” is the story of a little pink creature who suddenly finds himself in a world where things are missing: the chair no longer has a seat, the door has lost its handle, there is a step missing from the staircase… It’s very annoying! Habits are turned upside down, and it often hurts! While searching for these missing things, the little pink creature suddenly discovers that it has a hole in its chest… Yes, a big hole right in the middle! It’s strange, it’s embarrassing, and sometimes it’s scary… What to do? Hide it? Fill it? It’s impossible to find the little piece that’s missing. And yet it’s still somewhere nearby. It is through dreams, shadows, and illusions that the little pink creature will rediscover its habits.

Blick Théâtre
(France)

This series of three shows explores the broad concept of public service through the lens of national education, hospitals, and culture. Each part follows characters immersed in a crisis where their profession, its meaning, and its resonance are faltering. Based on a collection of experiences gathered in the field, experiments on stage, and collaborative writing, the creation questions what is essential, what must remain accessible to all, and highlights the divisions that run through our society.

L’Ateuchus
(France)

A wordless, moving play for a puppet and its puppeteer.
On stage, a throne. On this throne, an aging king, a theatrical king, a puppet. Lear, perhaps, offstage, without his daughters, without his pride, without his court. At his side, his puppeteer, sometimes valet, sometimes jester, sometimes counter-power or counterpoint, accompanies his king’s solitude in the drifts of his wanderings.

Les Anges au Plafond – CDN de Rouen-Normandie
(France)

On the 150th anniversary of George Sand’s death, a choir of women—puppeteer, sign language singer, and musician—explore the figure of the author. Possessed by the puppet, changing from men’s clothes to children’s clothes, they take turns embodying George, dialoguing with her tumultuous era and forging a bond of sisterhood with the woman who dared to conquer her independence. From the house to the pond, they bring to life the characters and silences that populate her universe.

Julien Mellano / Collectif Aïe Aïe Aïe
(France)

Julien Mellano takes on a little-known play by Leonid Andreyev, written in 1907 and beautifully translated from Russian by André Markowicz: The King of Famine. Julien Mellano plans to stage this infamous social parody in the form of an explosive and decadent muppet show, with the artistic collaboration of puppeteer Juan Perez Escala (Singe Diesel company) for the construction and manipulation techniques. “By replaying The King of Famine today, with passion and derision, I hope to keep us awake and provoke our empathy. Like Guignol, let’s continue to resist by ridiculing our monsters. Let’s throw them on stage and pull down their pants so that everyone can see the size of their brains. That is the power of the jester. So let’s laugh! Boom! Boom! Boom!” Julien Mellano

Sitio
(France)

Two characters balance between worlds: Mathis, a 16th century German painter, dreads the rise of perspective, while Diane, an accountant in her family’s slaughterhouse, reluctantly has to take over when her father dies… Across five centuries, their struggles intertwine through puppetry and a symbolic lamb. Mixing poetry, dark humor, and burlesque, Le Printemps questions ideals and reality.
