TIDEVANN
Kattas Figurteater (Norway)
Henriette G. Kihle et Tuva Synnevåg
A little girl lives alone on a reef in the vast ocean. One day, a book washes ashore. The book shows her an outside world. Perhaps she is not entirely alone in the world. She sets off to explore the world to see if there might be someone else out there.
This residency is offered as part of the research and development residency program in puppetry arts in Norway, in partnership with the Conseil des Arts et de Lettres du Québec and Fossekleiva Kultursenter.
CORPOSCOPIE
Confettis sauvages (Montréal)
Corposcopie is a poetic installation composed of suspended embroidery hoops, forming an intimate space where the artist tells her story through the body. This project explores the body in all its dimensions: the image we project, beauty, weight, family heritage, motherhood, physical and mental health, and grief.
LE GRAND CIRQUE AQUATIQUE
Laurent Steppé (Belgium)
On that day, the axe fell: a ban, deemed necessary, put an end to a practice now considered outdated and out of step with the times.
All that remains of the Anderson circus is a name and a man: the valiant Arestrup. He alone continued, even after the law of October 26, 2022, which drastically reduced the use of water for non-essential purposes.
Against all odds, he persisted.
And tonight, ladies and gentlemen, for you:
The Grand Aquatic Circus—without animals, and without water. (Well, just a little bit…)
SENTENCE DESIRE
Robin Puyk (Netherlands)
A young woman discovers herself through the passing of time. Between past, present, and future, she searches for her place and her own form. Sentence Desire is a poetic and visual exploration of self-transformation, between dream and reality.
Robin Puijk is a young artist and puppet theater creator from the Netherlands. Trained at the Magisch Theater in Maastricht, she explores the links between visual arts, poetry, and movement.
SAY MAMA
Brzezinski & Schap (USA)
In the hauntingly beautiful world of a miniature dollhouse, Say Mama explores the isolating and terrifying experience of new parenthood. This psychological journey follows a mother who, while trying to calm her baby one night, encounters a nightmarish transformation of the shadows inside the dollhouse. Performed by Libby Schap.
FOLIES FOUGÈRES
Les Sages Fous
Continuing the creative cycle begun with Minuscule & Grandiose and Jardins intérieurs, Les Sages Fous draw inspiration from the roots of the plant and architectural heritage of their unusual theater workshop to present their Folies Fougères. In this strange rhizomatic theater, a world grows where dreams germinate and mystery takes root.
