Lucien or The Shop of Lost Letters
At the heart of the Shop, a place brimming with poetry and mystery, Lucien works tirelessly. This character, full of personality, is the guardian of lost letters. In his skilled hands, crumpled pieces of paper are transformed into ethereal creations, ready to travel the world and deliver forgotten messages.
One day, a somewhat lost aviator ventures into this extraordinary workshop.
His encounter with Lucien becomes a pretext for exchange, play and creation. Through simple gestures, this duo reminds us that every message has its importance and that, sometimes, a breath of imagination is all it takes to reinvent ourselves.
This visual and poetic show, suitable for all ages, blends theatre and puppetry.
what the festival has to say
A forgotten world, gradually erased by time, inhabited by objects that suddenly seem to take on an impossible life of their own.
From Canada comes this character, Lucien. The puppet is born from a combination of elements that suddenly make us believe in this incredible ability to be transported through impossible and improbable worlds of the imagination, through an artistic vision.
We are very pleased to be able to bring to Ei! Marionetas projects that are developed in other regions around the world, but which center on puppetry as their main axis of dialogue.
ALUMA - Compagnie de création
Aluma is a collective that views the creative process as a dynamic space where theater, puppetry, dance, music, and emerging art forms intertwine. The company creates performances with and for audiences living with functional limitations (mental health conditions, physical, sensory, or intellectual differences) or audiences facing social and cultural exclusion.
