Compagnie Fleur Lemercier
Storytelling, puppetry, shadow play – from 7 years upwards
Vassilia, sorcière de mère en fille, tells the story of Baba Yaga initiation journey, her quest for fire in the waning days of her childhood, carrying in her pocket the magic doll bequeathed to her by her mother, which enables her to master light and the elements, and to heal or devour the destiny of those who come to her. This show proudly perpetuates the story of witches, singular women who are heirs to pagan traditions that the modern world demonised at its advent.
Compagnie A corps d’œuvre
Choreographed story – from age 7
Brasescao, la Fée presents “a vibratory body”, like an antenna that picks up multiple pieces of information. As the interface between our inner and outer selves, the body exists in this subtle relationship between our perceptions of all kinds and the interpretation we make of them, in a subjective and singular way. As a foundational experience, it enables us to communicate with our environment.
Quintessence
Theatre, all audiences
In this version of the play, Cyrano la grosse, Cyrano is an overweight woman and the genders are reversed. An activist in a feminist group, she is feared for her temper and outspokenness. She’s in love with Roxanne, a handsome man, but doesn’t know how to admit it. She knows she doesn’t fit the beauty criteria. When she learns that Christiane is in love with him, she decides to help him and confess her love through her. Roxanne falls in love with Christiane and realises, only later, that her lifelong friend was the author of those letters.
