Dimanche

Dimanche. Focus & Chaliwaté. Theatre / puppetry. Salle Renaud Barrault. Running time 1h15. An ordinary Sunday, or nearly so.

With a wild poetry, this show is a visual enchantment, teeming with stage inventions, mixing puppetry, object manipulation, gestural theatre and silent cinema.

With a wild poetry, this show is a visual enchantment, teeming with stage inventions, mixing puppetry, object manipulation, gestural 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 breakdown.

On one side, it is an ordinary family Sunday that is about to go off the rails, jolted by the uproar of the outside elements that seep into the household. On the other, we follow a team of amateur reporters who set out to film endangered animal species.

The companies Focus and Chaliwaté toy with our inertia in the face of the foretold catastrophe, with humour and mischief. A craft-based imagination in the service of a burning subject. Writing and direction: Julie Tenret, Sicaire Durieux, Sandrine Heyraud Danailov.

Cast: Julie Tenret, Sicaire Durieux, Sandrine Heyraud Danailov, alternating with Thomas Dechaufour, Denis Robert, Shantala Pèpe, Christine Heyraud, Julie Dacquin or Sophie Leso.
