"La Compagnie du Hanneton
Raoul (France)
Written and performed by James Thiérrée
A life-changing piece of theatre... This is special and James Thiérrée is a marvellous, marvellous, marvellous genius. DUBLINER *****
His universe is a magical one of endless suggestivity in which all is mutable: a gramophone becomes a stethoscope, a chair becomes a crab-like carapace, walls dissolve and slink or fly away. It's a beguiling spectacle. TIME OUT (LONDON) James Thiérrée sweeps you into a fantasy world of shape-shifting illusion, slapstick humour, startling beauty and melancholic whimsy that leaves you asking, ‘how did he do that?’ Raoul returns to a home upended, and quite possibly possessed. To keep domestic life from unravelling completely, he goes toe-to-toe with a surreal collection of adversaries - everything from hostile appliances to giant jellyfish and a face in the mirror with plans of its own. Are these manifestations of an untethered mind or something more sinister? James Thiérrée is a performer of rarefied lineage. His Compagnie du Hanneton has won four Moliere Awards, France’s highest achievement in theatre."
