Performance : Turbula - théâtre d'objet

Sun, 16 Nov

Fondation Opale

Join us for the closing of BENEATH THE REFLECTIONS OF THE WORLD with an object theatre performance in the Fondation Opale auditorium. Conceptualised by Cécile Poncet, Turbula is a daydream brought to life through sensitive and curious objects. A visual poem of delicate, precise, and minimalist play, it invites us to wander along unstable, random, and fleeting paths driven by everrenewed impulses. Rich in metaphors, symbols, and metamorphoses, the performance invites everyone to let their imagination flow freely and to project their own experience. An escape from time, Turbula offers a breath of calm in contrast to a troubled and noisy world. A tribute to introspection and simplicity, a call to slow down, the piece seeks to awaken in the audience a quest for the essential, leading to a feeling of serenity, freedom, and empathy. Cécile Poncet graduated from the National Centre for Circus Arts in London. Early in her career, she took part in several collective creations as a performer, notably with the contemporary circus company Gandini Juggling, while developing her own technique and relationship with object manipulation. Over time, she completed her training as a circus artist and founded Cie Après Coup in 2022, with the aim of developing her own projects at the crossroads of several art forms — poetry, visual arts, object and material theatre, and puppetry. The company’s work focuses primarily on themes of inner life and otherness. Created in 2024, Turbula, a non-verbal performance, has been selected for the Off en Salle programme of the 2025 World Festival of Puppet Theatres in Charleville-Mézières, France.   CHF 25.- per personCHF 10.-: children up to 16 years oldBooking recommended
