Morphé
In a country at war, a father tells his daughter a tale about the birth of the world.
About this event
At the heart of a small village, a man has built a wooden theatre. One night, he takes his daughter Macha to this theatre, which he has named “The Blue Whale”. To reassure Macha, who fears that the war will catch up with them, her father performs his last show for her. A poem about the birth of the world entitled Morphē.
Generations later, his grandson becomes the keeper of this story. With a wooden set, Simon Falguières and Karine Feuillebois, accompanied by two puppeteers, create a visual and poetic theatre evoking resistance and lineage. This fable, which pays tribute to artists in wartime, blends clowning, dance and object theatre with the grace and humour of a Charlie Chaplin film. A creation with burlesque overtones that takes audiences of all ages into a resolutely magical world.
Text, direction and set design by Simon Falguières With Simon Falguières and Karine Feuillebois.
