La Main d’Œuvres – France
“Le rêve d’une ombre”
Le rêve d’une ombre (The dream of a shadow) is a link between a dreamlike universe and the world of today. It is a question of body, soul and reflection. A mise en abîme of the shadow and its double in front of a sharp mirror reflecting only in black and white, in shadow and light.

A great baroque epic, The Man Who Laughs is one of Victor Hugo’s great novels. Fairground theatre and the manipulation of objects, it is a whole universe that mixes the fairy tale, the horror film, theatrical fantasy, the most implacable cruelty and offbeat humour.

“Gimme shelter (Donne-moi un abri)”
Is there any place today where we can still feel “safe”?

Compagnie À – France
“Autour de Babel”
Through object theatre, the company tells how a century after the writing of Stefan Zweig’s short story (The Tower of Babel – 1916), and millennia after the origin of this myth, it finds many echoes in the present day, at a time of political and religious radicalism, xenophobia, homophobia, and the turning in on oneself of individuals and nations?
