Après le déluge

As part of the La mèche courte festival

Grades 2 through 6

In a bizarre, very angular world, all in black and white, two humanoid creatures make a dramatic appearance, disrupting the established order. With caution and clumsiness, they strive to understand the laws of this KALEIDOSCOPIC environment, filled with strange sounds and mysterious boxes. The possible appearance of tentacles is a cause for concern! Or perhaps not?

After a deluge or a disaster, what unexpected things might emerge? Poetry? Magic? The artistic Siamese twins Julia B. Laperrière and Sébastien Provencher have co-created and perform this choreography together—full of unexpected twists, irony, and surprises—which pulses to the rhythm of live music. Unusual puppets with organic shapes also make an appearance in this checkerboard-patterned set. And even though this is a journey into a quirky universe, we can’t help but reflect on our own desire to box everything in—and on the transformative power of good old Chaos. Seriously, what would we be without it?
