The Shadow of Things

A playful interplay between bodies and shadows, and vice versa.

Une cuillère qui possède une ombre en forme de poisson

When we're not chasing them, they're the ones following us step by step. Impossible to get rid of them… or is it? In this show, shadows playfully break free from their models. They have fun changing shape, defying the laws of physics, and playing surprising tricks. Bodies become shadows, shadows take on bodies, and even the actresses appear and disappear, until we wonder: who is whose shadow?

Three white canvases, a few objects, and flashlights are all the two artists need to create a magical world on stage, where shadow and imagination take flight to the sound of music box melodies. With boundless inventiveness, this show explores shadow puppetry in a new and playful way, while subtly playing on the symbolism of this darkness born from light.
