Tales revisited, hungry clowns, children's dreams: out-of-frame commissions
Since the arrival of Kaori Ito as director of the TJP, the CDN de Strasbourg has made childhood and youth a central part of its project. As part of its production and support missions, the TJP has created two artistic commissions.
LABO RÊVES 3 - SEASON 2526 | LOUIS GILLARD
With Labo rêves, the TJP invites an artist to make a child's dream come true through art. Initiated with Fabrice Melquiot and the Munstrum Théâtre company during the 23-24 season, then renewed last year with actress and storyteller Fatou Ba, it is now the turn of artist Louis Gillard to take up this artistic proposal.
In collaboration with the artist Arthur Chavaudret, Louis Gillard will take children behind the scenes of the theater, revealing the secrets and techniques of new magic. After several creative periods, it's up to the audience to discover what lies beneath the stage.
LABO RÊVES 2 - SEASON 2425 | FATOU BA
The result of this unique encounter between artist Fatou Ba and schoolchildren is a dreamlike tale where languages mingle and unite into one, where sounds and images intertwine in poetic harmony. These young people from different parts of the world, all learning French together, inspired Fatou Ba to write a journey. Actress Léna Dia guides us through this invitation to dream, using colorful fabrics of varying shapes and textures set up on stage.
Fatou Ba is an actress, storyteller and artistic director of the Company 12:21. She creates hybrid, multidisciplinary shows that bring together professionals and amateurs of all ages. Léna Dia is a recurring actress and performer with Compagnie 12:21.
LABO RÊVES 1 - SEASON 2324 | FABRICE MELQUIOT & LE MUNSTRUM THÉÂTRE
What do children dream about? What worlds do they travel through in their sleep? Following a meeting with a child from the Charles Frey children's home in Strasbourg, Fabrice Melquiot wrote a dream-like text that plunges us into the dream world of a child in 2024. By imagining an immersive device, actress Sophie Botte gives substance to these words, inviting spectators to an unusual experience somewhere between a poetic siesta and a waking dream.
Fabrice Melquiot is a writer and performer. He is the author of some sixty plays, graphic novels and collections of poetry. From 2012 to 2021, he directed the Am Stram Gram Theatre of Geneva, International Creative Center for Children and Young People.
Sophie Botte is an actress. She is a member of Munstrum Théâtre since its creation. In 2020, she founded the "Tomorrow.is. cancelled with actors and street performers.
As part of the Micro Giboulées program, the TJP invites a local artist to create a storytelling program for children aged 5 and over. Season 24-25 saw the emergence of Drag'liseuse by the House of Marley. In this piece, drag queens Nöxima and Melankholia MARLEY revisit the Grimm brothers' fairy tales, exploring issues of equality, inclusivity and difference. This season, the TJP invites clown Sissy Vorace, played by Nolwenn Peterschmitt, to perform a piece entitled Mange-nuit.
MANGE NUIT | NOLWENN PETERSCHMITT
This is the story of a clown named Sissy Vorace. Very cheerful, generous and unpredictable, Sissy is always hungry. Her heart beats so loudly that she spends her life running to find something to satisfy it. In this quest, she surrounds herself with spirits, animals and, of course, the audience. Her goal: to find the right place to celebrate freedom.
DRAG'LISEUSE | NÖXIMA MARLEY
Inspired by Contes à PaillettesNöxïmä Marley's show, which has been led for several years by the queer Parisian drag collective Paillettes, unravels the clichés of children's stories. It's a way of exploring questions of equality, inclusivity and difference in high heels and fancy dress, by giving the usual story roles a makeover. Here, witches are mischievous and princesses take their destiny into their own hands to set off on adventures. As for the princes, they're not necessarily charmingly charming!
