Tof Théâtre

• 1986
• Belgium

Proponents of ‘reduced realism’, Tof Théâtre subverts traditional techniques by putting the puppeteers in full view of the audience. The company’s shows are aimed at young audiences, aiming to bring kids and adults together in a moment of shared wonder.
The company’s work has been acclaimed for the technical mastery on display as well as the quality of the writing. Their shows operate in an imaginary language composed of sounds, sound effects and onomatopoeic noises. This universal language, simple and accessible to all, allows the company to perform for anybody and everybody.
Fascinated by everyday tragedies and comedies, Tof Théâtre produces shows which celebrate ordinary life and its emotions, finding epic grandeur in mundane things and never failing to see the funny side. Without words, but packed with humour and emotion, Tof Théâtre’s original productions cast a wry eye over the little details of which life’s dramas are made.
