"Without our body's shadow, we would become invisible, and so small we would have disappeared." Jean-Luc Parant.
“Petites Migrations” opens and unfolds with the graceful, suave slowness and lightness of a flower. The beauty of the play lies in its subtle sound environment and the daintiness of the shadows which, in their precise interplay with the light, disappear or are metamorphosed as the thread of the random story unfolds. "Petites Migrations" calls upon our basic means of seeing, feeling and hearing. Using light to project objects opens the door to a world of images, sounds, movements and colours that mingle and intertwine in surprising ways. A magical world in which the real is transcended to the point that it becomes palpable.
In "Petites Migrations", shadow puppetry allows us to approach the bonds that connect us to the primordial elements: Earth, wind, fire and water; to the various kingdoms: animal, plant, mineral,… and therefore to everything that, although moving and changing, is the foundation of our existence.
The story
“A small, vulnerable character is absorbed by a tear of sadness. This leads them into the heart of the lands of their imagination. From these strange places filled with experiences and transformations, they return elated and confident…"
