A fairy tale, three chairs, eight instruments.
Two children, a witch, and her gingerbread house. All the classic fairy tale ingredients are there. But you have to see what Collectif Ubique does with them to truly appreciate this theatrical and musical journey that brings the Brothers Grimm's famous recipe up to date: theorbo, lute, musical saw, violin, clarinet, percussion, sung and chanted texts. The trio of actor-musicians switch hats and instruments every second to offer us a poetic and offbeat show, blending original compositions and texts.
The Collectif was born in 2012 from the meeting of the three artists and their intrinsic artistic worlds: theater, instrumental and vocal music. In nearly ten years, they have staged three original adaptations of famous fairy tales, radically reimagined: Hansel and Gretel (2012), Sleeping Beauty (2017), and The Little Mermaid (2021). Over time, they have developed their writing and soundscape, diversified their instrumental techniques according to the dramatic needs of their performances, and reinforced a distinctive stage presence that has become their signature: three chairs facing the audience.
