Rien

Rien is a poetic, clownish exploration of the human condition performed through table puppets and object theatre. Performed and manipulated by Aurélie Gourvès and Délia Sartor, the piece stages themes of possession, authority, false beliefs, rivalry, fear of the void and boredom with a minimal scenography by Henry Castres. Assistants Cristina Iosif and François Accard support the staging, while Émile Parisien provides the music. A tender, comic and slightly melancholic show for audiences from six years.
