Théâtre de l’Entrouvert

France

---

Metamorphoses of water: solid, liquid, gaseous. An ice solo! The story is inspired by the novel Oedipus on the Road by the Belgian writer Henry Bauchau. Blind Oedipus is wandering, accompanied by Antigone, his daughter and leading light. She leads the fragile old man in the form of an ice doll that gradually melts and disappears. Drop by drop, the cursed king becomes a fleeting and transient figure, whereby the power of physical transformations turns into an interplay of presence and absence and creates a mythical character of cruel beauty.

Théâtre de l’Entrouvert was founded in 2009 by Elise Vigneron, a young figure-theatre player who studied at the Lille Circus Academy of Fine Arts and at the Supérieure École Nationale des Arts de la Marionnette in Charleville-Mézières. With the founding of her own company, she pursued the goal of creating her own expression in a symbiosis of different visual theatre forms. The choice of unusual performance situations enables her to involve the audience directly in the events on stage, thus creating a special intensity of experience. In 2010 the ensemble were guests at Unidram with the production Traversées.
