Structured like a collection of short stories, "Réalités parallèles" explores the improbable encounter between live animation, paper theatre, and object theatre.
Throughout the performance, the audience witnesses the creation of a film unfolding in real time before their eyes, thanks to an ingenious stage setup. The theatricality emerges from the careful orchestration of four actors on stage, their focus on manipulating delicate paper forms in harmony with the surrounding visual and sound world. It is a true choreography, a celebration of fragility.
Challenging our perceptions, three narratives transport us to other dimensions. The first immerses us in Felix’s memories, who, at the age of 13, must cycle through a war-torn Germany on the brink of collapse. The second takes us through the existential vertigo of a writer as he wanders the corridors of a deserted hotel. In a lighter tone, the third story explores the anxiety of being lost in space and time through the archetype of space travel.
"Réalités parallèles" offers, in its own way, a reflection on how we perceive reality. Without trickery or magic, these three short pieces provoke surprise and wonder through the poetic transformation of simple things.
— Target audience: 14 years and older
