TRICYCKLE
LES SAGES FOUS
A mysterious duet between a man and his bike
Guided by enigmatic arrows, a scrap-collector steers his Tricycle and trailer to the opening of a fantastical maze filled with illusions. A dream-like adventure begins.
The tricycle guides the man through his life journey as if it were an uncanny ride at a fairground; through the house of mirrors, the carousels, and the games of chance leading him through the dark shadows of his past towards his quest for freedom and into the light.
Tricyckle is a spectacle of metamorphosis and transformation using objects and puppetry. Visual theatre without words, the show was conceived to be performed in theatres and also unusual nonconventional spaces.
Tricyckle’s intriguing musical score is composed solely of invented instruments created with found objects.
Interpretation: Jacob Brindamour
Staging and puppets: South Miller
Set design and props: Sylvain Longpré
Music: Christian Laflamme

TRICYCKLE
RECEIVES THE PERFORMING ARTS CREATION AWARD

24th Arts Excellence Awards ceremony organized by
Culture Mauricie
“The Tricyckle show is a celebration
of ingenuity and imagination. With
set design and staging created
from recycled materials, abandoned objects,
and invented instruments, this dreamlike journey,
brilliantly guided by the wordless performance
of actor Jacob Brindamour and the intriguing notes
of musician Christian Laflamme, is a
captivating snub to cultural elitism. ”
(Excerpt from the brochure published by Culture Mauricie)
“Les Sages Fous deliver a life
trip in a bewitching hour.”
Svelvikspoften, Bergen, Norway
“This is a deeply personal, playful and utterly
charming insight into one man’s life traipsing
from one base to another. (…) Often surreal,
always playful and nothing short of endearing,
Tricyckle does exactly what it sets out to do.”
Shane Morgan, Bristol 24/7, England
“Loved the gentle, intelligent, hypnotic
Les Sages Fous Tricyckle…
it’s on again tomorrow – see it if you can”
Phil Gibby
