In French (very few words)

 

Anchored in the fascinating and little-known world of the abyss, Mutatis Mutandis! draws its inspiration from scientific facts that are so incredible they submerge us in a surreal world that speaks to our subconscious mind. Meanwhile, the human world, both in its day-to-day and more intimate sphere, starts to take on a whole new dimension. The show is crafted like a collage, intuitively connecting the languages of sight and sound, allowing audience members to lose themselves in the story as they navigate freely within it.

 

RUNNING TIME: 50 minutes

Company

Interdisciplinary artist Laurence Petitpas is originally from Sept-Îles and is now based in Québec City. She is especially fond of the vast world of puppetry, a world that she experiences as a space where the different plastic and sound languages she explores converge. Mutatis Mutandis! is her debut production for the stage. It addresses themes like encroachment and impermanence, through an investigation of the abyss, the veritable bowels of our planet. In parallel to her practice, Laurence Petitpas develops and leads workshops for children and performs accordion concerts for the elderly.
