Description
Key words: object theatre, storytelling, taming the emotions linked to divorce
We love this show for: its creativity, its poetry, its sensitivity
As summer holiday begins, Clémentine learns that her mom and dad don’t love each other anymore. The word “divorce” tears her up inside. Secretly, she vows to do everything she can to stop them from splitting up. But can a child decide their parents’ fate? Seasons pass and time takes its toll. From one house to the next, with the help of her bubbly, affectionate little sister, Clémentine tames her anger and sadness.
Sitting near the actresses as they juggle their various roles, the audience watches with amazement as various objects come to life. Sugar cubes form a snowman. Tiny shoes frolic like children in a schoolyard. What magic! Small, everyday objects breathe poetry and playfulness into the story of a family that must reinvent itself.
