From France – From the outset, Théâtre de la Massue breaks the mold and invites us to construct a live territory in interaction with its audience. An artist of the infinitesimal, Ézéquiel Garcia-Romeu is a demiurge who reveals an extraordinary world, in a precarious equilibrium between the beauty and brutality of matter. On stage, a hazy, rugged landscape emerges, gradually populated by puppets with sculpted faces. Here and there, these little creatures are busy with strange and sometimes absurd tasks, meticulously participating in a clever little machine, immersed in an artisanal universe made of wood, salvaged objects and strings. As the performance unfolds, paths of hope emerge within this moving metaphor for the human condition. (Run time: 80 mins. Age 14+).

About the Theater - Garcia-Romeu, artistic director of the Théâtre de la Massue, is an inventor of universes, director and scenographer. He explores contemporary forms of puppetry and new forms of stage writing. His shows have been programmed at the Festival Mondial de Charleville-Mézières, the Théâtre National de Nice, Théâtre National de Chaillot, the Odéon, the Théâtre de la Commune, the Auditorium of the Musée d’Orsay, the Festival in d’Avignon, the Berliner Festspiele, and numerous festivals and stages around the world.
