Artist, James Thierrée comes back to enchant us with new spells. In the middle of poisonous and carnivorous plants, he stands as a Peter Pan gestures of bird, letting himself be bewitched by the magnetic Valérie Doucet, dazzling contortionist. On this siblings hover fantastic creatures, an Octopus or a chubby and hilarious fish escaped from the whimsical fingers of Victoria Thierrée. Up there, an enigmatic Acrobat taunts the beings of the marshes, deploying her hair that has the makings of a poem. The spiritual voice of the singer Mariama drops a comforting balm on this huge machinery of the imaginary.

Chafer company called mime, circus, dance, theatre, singing and magic of the scenery to shape this fantastic Symphony. Toys of fabulous machineries, wild, touching and burlesque characters, weave a fable crossed by a current of melancholy and insanity Bohemian. The artist's signature is everywhere.

James Thierrée bewitches us again with a tale about childhood, faithful to his dreamy, baroque universe, served by wonderful interpreters. An enchantment.
