INCARNATIONS TRANSITOIRES

All audiences, 7 years +

What if your emotions could materialize before your very eyes?

Incarnations transitoires invites young and old alike to enjoy a playful and poetic experience where moods materialize, move, change. . . and sometimes even surprise us! Amazing creatures emerge from simple materials—paper, cardboard, plastic, fabric. They come to life, are transformed, and interact with characters who seek to understand what these new beings are feeling. Each object becomes a playmate, an inner landscape, or an emotion that invents its own form.

This show without words combines contemporary puppetry, visual theatre, dance, and live music, creating a vibrant sensory universe accessible to all ages. Here, every gesture tells a secret, every movement reveals an emotion, and every transformation opens a door to the imagination.

Company

Trained in circus arts and physical theatre, Céline Chevrier specialized in fire perfromance, acrobatics, and clowning before dedicating herself to contemporary puppetry some ten years ago. She is particularly interested in the relationship between the object and the person manipulating it, seeking to develop her own gestural language. A versatile collaborator, she has worked with renowned artists such as Les Sages Fous, Collectif Ausgang, Toujours Turquoise, and designer Sophie Deslauriers. This is her first creation.
