Michel Broquin and Odile Brisset work to bring humanity face to face with its mirror image, crafted with masks and puppets to disguise reality in order to more fully reveal it. Drawing on their immense expertise and sensitivity, they take a little nugget of reality and use it as the basis for a poetic collision of words, images and sounds. In doing so they challenge the audience to think, to ask questions, to appreciate the impossible beauty of each single moment. The company aims to create a visual representation of the most intimate spaces, bringing the audience face to face with the raw sensitivity of the characters, making them participants in their most intense inner struggles, rather than simple witnesses. The world they conjure up is peopled with visions, chimaera, visual metaphors and intricate internal landscapes. This world is open to audiences of all ages, inviting spectators to join them in an adventure which celebrates the power of the imagination, the importance of resilience and the strength of hope. The beauty of the images and the compelling power of the dialogue guide the audience through this process of individual discovery. Each new show is a universe in its own right, an immersive experience of sensory and poetic exploration framed by tirelessly innovative contemporary writing.
