Raoul
La Compagnie du Hanneton
Designed, directed and performed by: James Thiérrée
Australian Premiere Season
France
STARRING: James Thiérrée
“The mixture of absurdist playfulness would have Lewis Carroll on his feet”
The Guardian
Umbrellas become jellyfish, clothes take on a mind of their own, ghost-like elephants wander and candles won’t snuff in James Thiérrée’s world of endless invention.
One of Europe’s most versatile artists, the acrobat, clown, poet and magician uses his impish talent and extraordinary physical prowess to transform everyday objects into magical dream-like spectacles that captivate, charm and inspire.
In this mesmerising new large-scale solo show, Thiérrée is Raoul, a man without beginning or end, who tumbles through a series of utopian fantasies where acrobatics, mysterious transformations, music and dance collide – a world which is at once recognisable and yet utterly alien.
