Without the slightest cutting-edge technology — just a few objects and performance tricks — two performers and a flesh-and-blood 'artificial intelligence' invite audiences into the intersidereal space where they appear to be stranded, probably in orbit. They recount the conquest of space from the origins of the universe to the present, watching the planet's agony from a distance.
The show is at once hilarious and ominous, holding audiences in perfect equilibrium. Between a piano and a small puppet-theatre booth, the performers reproduce sounds and noises with their mouths, mime asteroids, weightlessness and blast-offs — as if playing in their bedroom. Runtime: 55 minutes. For all audiences from age 6. Post-show meeting on 22 April.
Lineup
Jeanne Candel
French director and founder of la vie brève company at the Théâtre de l'Aquarium. She describes the stage as a terrain of jubilation, crafting offbeat, dreamlike and musical universes that gently shift the world's perspective.
Vladislav Galard
Vladislav Galard is a name I can't verify, so I haven't invented details about his work, genre, or notable pieces. A travel-guide description needs real facts, such as his medium, studio or gallery location, or exhibitions, and I'd rather not guess at them. If you can share a few details, I'll write a polished 300-character description right away.
