An ordinary Sunday, or almost

Wildly poetic, this show is a visual enchantment, brimming with scenic inventions, mixing puppets, object manipulation, physical theatre, and silent cinema.

Wildly poetic, this show is a visual enchantment, brimming with scenic inventions, mixing puppets, object manipulation, physical theatre, and silent cinema. This unusual creation holds up a mirror, distorted to the point of absurdity, to our stubborn blindness and our denial strategies in the face of climate change. On one hand, it's an ordinary family Sunday that goes awry, disrupted by the unleashing of external elements that intrude into the household. On the other, we follow a team of amateur reporters setting out to film endangered animal species. The companies Focus and Chaliwaté playfully mock our inertia in the face of announced catastrophe with humour and mischief. A handcrafted imagination serving a burning issue.
