A theatrical-dance production for all ages, from 8 to 88<\/b><\/h4>\n

In this choreographic tragicomedy, an elderly couple, aged 94 and 95, to ward off boredom, solitude and isolation, welcome a steady stream of imaginary guests at their door. Among them we find a colonel, a Sleeping Beauty, a group of children, animal reporters and even the King himself.<\/p>\n

An absurd melee ensues with an endless shifting of chairs for the phantom guests. Then suddenly, for all to hear, the awaited Orator arrives!<\/p>\n

To everyone’s surprise, it is a dancing deaf-mute child who, through the language of dance, speaks a universal message, conveying the shared thoughts of the elderly and the children, and their hopes for a future world. This original adaptation of Eug\u00e8ne Ionescu<\/strong>‘s play seamlessly integrates dance, theatre and music.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Avec son adaptation des Chaises, le chor\u00e9graphe Pierre-Paul Savoie s\u2019approprie avec bonheur, tendresse et sensibilit\u00e9 un joyau du th\u00e9\u00e2tre mondial pour le jeune public.\u00a0\u00bb

\u00ab\u00a0Toujours aussi pertinente la pi\u00e8ce\u2026 fait r\u00e9sonner plusieurs couches de sens \u2026 Leurs dialogues et monologues font valser le sublime et l\u2019ordinaire. Leurs petites routines et querelle, et surtout leurs gestes de vieux un peu fourbus par la vie faisaient bien rigoler le jeune public\u2026 Car la danse se m\u00eale aux dialogues surtout sous forme d\u2019acrobaties livr\u00e9es avec la dr\u00f4le de maladresse que leur \u00e2ge impose.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9cors, costumes et maquillages, tous en noir et blanc, font un clin d\u2019\u0153il \u00e0 une esth\u00e9tique expressionniste, jouant \u00e0 la fois sur le clownesque et le grave. Des changements de registres qui plaisaient visiblement aux jeunes spectateurs.\u00a0\u00bb
