Raoul
One 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. Co-commissioned by barbicanbite09 in association with Crying Out Loud, Le Theatre de Namur, Sas Junebug, La Coursive Scene Nationale de La Rochelle, La Comedie de Clemont Ferrand, Theatre de la Ville Paris, Abbey Theatre Ireland, La Maison de la Danse Lyon and TNT Toulouse. 75 mins with no interval.
