monster parade

Making invisible, mischievous beings appear. In Nathalie Béasse's monster parade, the set comes to life and dances in a world where magic takes center stage.

This is no longer a theater but a gentle, surprising ghost-train. Nathalie Béasse takes us on board for her first play for young audiences in a lively scenography that stimulates the imagination around what's scary. The director-photographer-choreographer offers multiple variations. The voices of children aged five to seven, echoing and inhabiting the space, make themselves heard and confide in us. Four characters, in turn magicians, transformers and prop-makers, activate the sets and change costumes in a space-time where each element interferes with another. In each of her pieces, Nathalie Béasse has the singular art of arousing attention and listening: details are no longer details, objects come alive, generating an ever-renewed theatrical illusion. The sound of an insect, a light that crosses the space, a Pandora's box on wheels, a talking object, a door that slams, a shadow that takes shape: every child can tell his or her own story, and laughter is never far away.
