Homme de papier

Théâtre de marionnettes

The man of foam (Homme d’Écume) dances on the sea, as free as the wind. But suddenly, a dark wave full of pollution threatens him. He has no choice – he must flee. He takes flight and lands in the land of the man of paper (Homme de Papier). A well-protected house, a tree to climb, fruits to pick, to claim or to share!

The meeting of these two characters unfolds step by step, beyond their differences. When the dark wave returns, overwhelming and dangerous, they must support each other and unleash their creativity so that a new spring can blossom.

A poetic, humorous and musical performance in a paper-filled universe – played with four hands using the Japanese bunraku technique.

A hopeful view on the transformation of our world, focusing on initiative, responsibility and solidarity in the face of environmental challenges.
