A solo of objects theatre and postcards.
An unusual and moving show in form of “small absurd tests and short attempts of telling some things”...
Some collected postcards are kept inside a box with its own stories and words, landscapes and music... One day the box is opened and all these notes and fragments of memories fall out. A comic and moving character who, at the sound of kitsch music, offers us small passages of her life for us to taste... A minimalist, inventive show, intimist, intriguing, comic and gracious. A little jewel!
The Compagnie "à" was created in December of 2003 by Dorothée Saysombat. It was born from the will of exploring the lively writing forms, through the relation between actor and manipulated object, the public, sound and space. They have a preference for the objects theatre, the clown, the puppet, the cinema and the artistic proposals of small forms, privileging an intimist and precious relation with the public. Dorothée Saysombat, after her graduation in the École du Samouvar, collaborated as an actress and puppeteer with different groups, like Turak, from 2001 to 2005. She also works in cinema, and directed “Pás-de-portes à Roubaix” in 2003, and as visual artist, in animation movies and urbane installations.
