A figure in search of his identity guides the spectators on the traces of his image through a wandering and visual form which is based on the text ” Seuils ” by Patrick Kermann.

a stroll in the night under the guidance of a passeur, a gure in search of identity, in the trail of her image. Chiaroscuro : the doors open, seven tresholds show up, seven stages of light where are played successive scenes belonging to the in-between : narrow pass between inside and outside, being and seeming, presence and absence, life and death…

Ah what glow will tear the in-between? In her house she will not be seen.
Neither inside nor outside she will see her image. On the threshold only.
Here. Where what is hidden is offered, where what is revealed is erased.

Toute la culture

Few performances so fully deserve to be described as a visual poem. A subtle, dark and magnificent work, like a chiaroscuro painting by Georges de La Tour coming to life before the audience’s eyes.
By Mathieu Dochtermann

Puppen Menshen

Bathed in beautiful light, the audience (standing, seated, kneeling) and the young woman on stage confront their metaphysical anxieties through seven stations, cautiously searching for their inner selves.
By Muriel Camus

Zibeline

By turns an automaton, an old woman playing Narcissus, using her silhouette to dance with oblivion—both delicate and unsettling—Élise Vigneron, a graduate of the puppetry arts school in Charleville-Mézières, explores these fragile territories with extraordinary talent.
By Delphine Michelangeli

double

Shadow play unfolds within a poetic set of great refinement, characteristic of the French theatre company l’Entrouvert. Here too, the performance is carried out with confidence, yet in silence, with great sensitivity. A tearing apart that, through graceful and subtle images, shapes a landscape imbued with a spiritual atmosphere.
By Heidi Jäger
