Ciel, mon loyer !

Adapted by Samuel Beck and Marie Godefroy, this contemporary puppet farce revives the Picard rod-puppet tradition of Polichinelle with mischievous energy and social bite. The piece follows Lafleur and Sandrine as they invent increasingly absurd schemes to avoid paying the rent, moving between slapstick, improvisation and sharp social observation. Performers Samuel Beck, Marie Godefroy and Mehdi Kabar bring vivid character work; Romain Landat (construction), Pauline Kocher (puppet costumes) and Luce Amoros (sets) shape a crafted, playful world.
