Draw me a crow: an ecological tale between chalk and emotion
Presented by the company Flourthis play tells of an improbable encounter between a little girl and a crow, isolated with a hatching egg. In a refined visual universe, the chalk drawings come to life to illustrate the complicity between these two beings, while exploring the themes of nature and resilience.
This artistic choice allows the viewer to become an actor in the story, as the company explains:
We like the simplicity of the drawing, because it invites the public to fill in the gaps and make the story their own.
This new version of the show, redesigned since its initial creation in 2019, is more intimate and takes place in a space designed to create proximity with the audience. This approach, according to the company, offers “warm and immersive experience, as if you were in a nest”.
Love of risk: a surprising ballet for robot vacuum cleaners
The Bakelite company, an expert in object theater, presents Love of riska daring show where robot vacuum cleaners come to life on stage. In a setting reminiscent of a romantic dinner, these ordinary machines transform into unexpected dancers, offering a mechanical ballet that provokes both laughter and reflection.
The artistic team explains:
We chose to divert these everyday objects to transform them into improbable characters. This echoes our relationship with technology and its limits, while maintaining a light and humorous approach.
Each representation is unique, leaving an important place to chance. “Working with robots is like playing with animals being trained,” confides the company, emphasizing the randomness and controlled chaos that punctuate the show. Find “The love of risk” Friday November 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Tournefeuille.
