Synopsis

A family faces the emptiness left after the loss of a daughter. Memories, silences, and everyday objects turn into presences that fill the stage. Tumulte is a visual and poetic performance by Blick Théâtre that, through masks, gestures, and puppets, explores memory, fragility, and the strength of family ties in the face of absence. Without words, it invites the audience into an intimate and moving universe where reality and dream intertwine.

Blick Théâtre develops a wordless theatre of illusions, where humans, puppets, and masks take part in creating strange, intense, and deeply emotional situations.

Immersive theatre – Large-format puppets

Synopsis

Whales, no matter how small, are big—very big—and it’s rare to find them on dry land. But there is a force strong enough to bring them up from the depths of the sea.

La (petita) Moby Dick has fallen in love and sets off on a continental journey to find the person who left “the most beautiful love letter in the world” inside a bottle. But how can she find them? The whale doesn’t imagine that what she longs for might be closer than she thinks.

An interactive performance where the audience meets the whale, keeps her moist, and helps solve the puzzle of this unique love story!

Synopsis

The cat, the owl, the lizard, and the mouse. A story about four animals living in a banyan tree. They are not friends, but rather prey and predators. Each lives in fear of the animal above them in the tree, yet they manage to coexist.

Everything changes when the cat falls into a hunter’s trap and the mouse rescues her, making her promise never to eat him. After the incident, the cat tries to befriend the mouse, but he never quite trusts her, and it is ultimately the owl who intervenes. The story explores themes of trust and loyalty, contrasted with the laws of nature.
