Compaqgnie du Hanneton/James Thierree - The Toad Knew - T0714105250Following Tabac Rouge in 2014, James Thierree returns with his latest critically acclaimed creation, featuring a seamless mix of mechanical marvels, music, surreal humour and acrobatic finesse. Six characters emerge in a strange fairy-tale lair. A woman transforms into a lizard, a piano plays itself, and plates magically appear and disappear. In the middle of it all James Thierr?e works his magic with the aid of a squat servant, only to have it undone by a man beast, and aerialist Thi Mai Nguyen and contortionist Val?rie Doucet spin their tricks. | |

Raoul - T910639522One of Europe’s most extraordinarily versatile artists, Thierree uses his impish talent to transform everyday objects into magical dream-like spectacles that captivate, charm and inspire. Thierree is Raoul, a man without beginning or end, who tumbles through a series of utopian fantasies in which acrobatics, mysterious transformations, music and dance collide – a world which is at once recognisable and yet utterly alien. Raoul is a surprising and daring show in which Thierree mischievously teases the audience whilst demonstrating his formidable skills through delightful visual comedy.
