Dream of a forgotten forest
En Ribambelle!
Object and puppet theater, ages 6 and up.
Collectif Kahraba – Lebanon
Création 2024 – French premiere
Performance: Tamara Badreddine and Éric Deniaud
Under the eyes of Marielise Aad and Aurélien Zouki
A little girl is stranded on a stump of wood, as if after a storm about which nothing is known. She sleeps, and the forest takes on the task of watching over her… Forest presences then appear, delicately placing the necessary ingredients for awakening and consolation: water, wind, tenderness and hope…
Songe d’une forêt oubliée is a wordless tale, a visual poem in which sound, image, the manipulation of objects and materials, and puppetry all serve the same poetic language. On stage, two performers, discreet sand merchants, set the puppets in motion as much as the set itself.
This show plunges us into a waking dream, a dream in which forest, rain and wind build landscapes. But as in a dream, it’s never quite the forest you know. The show acts on us like a dream on those who slumber: it plunges us into an inner state where the senses, more than consciousness, are challenged, inviting us to let go, to accept that we don’t understand everything… As in life after all.
LSF-accessible performance on October 26
At the performance on October 26 at 6pm, an LSF interpreter will be on hand to welcome deaf spectators, and will also interpret the exchange with the audience following the show.
