New to the world, a little character made of twine and string embarks on an odyssey of challenge and discovery. String is a profound and captivating story about growing up told without words using puppetry and music. An enchanting duet between puppeteer and musician.
A hide-and-seek orchestrated by a puppeteer and a musician where the game is discovery…
Of space, where anything is possible,
Of time, which passes and transforms everything,
Of existential fears, those that make us move forward,
Of the Other, the one who opens the field of possibilities…
Therefore…
String by string, the world of Ficelle unravels, fragile, fertile, hostile…
String by string, it unravels the little nothings that constitute the essence of life.
A path where music and puppets weave together moments frozen in time.
Please note there is an additional performance of String on May 24th @ 14h organized by the Alliance Française de Toronto. Please visit their website to purchase tickets for this performance.
