Juventud

Speed and youth! From the first to the last second of Juventud, five jugglers manifest unfailing endurance and audacity. Made of danced fighting and complicit hand game, the choreography leaves no space to hesitations. Each movement brings about another one, in a flurry of hypnotic acts whose pace, unrelenting, goes crescendo. Traditional juggling objects, balls, masses, and rings get formed and disformed, to mold bodies and come, with great poetry, to another life.

Au jardin des Potiniers

In this miniature botanical landscape, heads poke out beyond the mountains. Those little faces look familiar: they’re your kids! But don’t panic, they’re invited to contemplate a profuse and poetic world. As they’re placed beneath a model, their heads stick out and they end up at the heart of this microcosm that comes to life like by magic. Fauna and flora awaken and time freezes: the young (and less young) audience members are the witnesses of a beauty whose balance seems fragile… Au jardin des Potiniers is a humble and immediate encounter with nature and its splendor.

Bakéké

Are you desperately perfectionist? So is he! Tight as a clam and clever as a cartload of monkeys, our friends seems to have only one idea in mind, under his straw hat: building pyramids… of buckets. Not 3 or 6, but 60 lime-colored buckets. Through all means, especially the craziest ones, he intends to give them sumptuous geometric shapes. So, this dreamer aligns and piles up, to the point of hubris… Like for Cleopatra’s architect, it’s however in imperfection and mistakes that poetry will come out. Bakéké (“bucket” in Hawaiian) is a story that tells our own obstinacies, deliciously absurd and liberating.

D’Prinzessin op der Ierbes

Sorry, there’s no English version of this text.

Et muss awer eng richteg Prinzessin sinn!
Et war eemol e Prënz, deen onbedéngt eng Prinzessin wollt bestueden.
Et huet awer eng richteg misse sinn.
De Prënz ass duerch d’ganz Welt gereest, fir eng ze fannen.
Mee ëmmer war eppes verkéiert…
D’Kënschtler*innen vum Traffik Theater erziele mat Zeechnungen, Objeten a Live-Musek eent vun de bekanntste Märercher vum Hans Christian Andersen, a froen sech awer och, ob wierklech nëmmen eng richteg Prinzessin et fäerdeg bréngt, duerch 20 Plommepillemen a Matrassen eng kleng Ierbes ze spieren.
Wat wier, wann e Prënz den Ierbessentest misst maachen? Oder Jenny a Menni? A firwat muss engem Prënz seng Fra sou sensibel sinn? Wat wier, wann se just zëmperlech a kriddeleg wier? Wat géif geschéien, wann se nom Ierbessentest keng Loscht hätt, de Prënz ze bestueden?
Et kann een sech vill Froe stellen, wann een hautzedaags dem Andersen säi Märche liest, an dat maachen den Dan Tanson, de Michel Boulanger an d’Eleonora Savini mat vill Humor.

ZongenZodi

Sorry, there’s no English version of this text.

Eng Geschicht fänkt vir un an hält hannen op. Zwar net! Haut op d’mannst maache mer alles verkéiert a béien et nees grued. A vläicht bleiwen dono e puer wonnerschéi kleng Bëlzen dran.
Well
wann hanne vir a vir hannen ass,
da ka riicht kromm sinn a kromm och riicht, an alles ass nees genee esou, wéi et soll sinn! Oder net?
Komm mir setzen den Z op den A an en T virun all Wuert! Wann dann d’Wieder esou richteg schéi geckeg d’ënnescht d’iewescht bonzelen, da kriss de e Knuet an d’Zong… oder an d’Oueren?
Oh meng Modi, wat en Zodi, voller Freed um Duercherneen!

Un petit trou de rien du tout

From socks to cheese, holes are everywhere, just like that, with no rhyme or reason. They can be widened or plugged up, seen but never touched. Sometimes a little hole is all it takes to consume the imagination and carry you away. Holes, like doors, are portals to surprising places.
In this minimalist, comedic performance, two actors make holes appear and play with them. The magic of this world is most amazing to the youngest audiences. What do you think these little holes will evoke for you?

Le mensonge

A little girl wakes up with a big lie. The lie little by little takes the shape of a red ball and becomes impossible to get rid off. It takes a life of its own, becomes opinionated and even multiplies. How to tell truth now? The spectators are plunged into the interior world of the little girl, her dreams and nightmares. Only her courage can help her now. Catherine Dreyfus’ s play dismantles the mechanism of the lie. The red ball finally bursts and the little girl is relieved.

Machine de cirque

Straight from Quebec, five acrobats and musicians amaze with their breath-taking and hilarious acts, be it on the Chinese pole, Korean seesaw, unicycle or fireworks. This whirlwind of action comes together in a cheeky story, in which our five muscular rascals play survivors in a world without women and technology. Their mission becomes apparent right away: finding other survivors. It will be dangerous, but fun at the same time. It almost makes you wish the end of the world were to happen tomorrow.

Big Box

Melanie Florschütz und Michael Döhnert are famous for their ability to create exciting new possibilities with things, objects, music and light. Big Box is about a box on stage. A box? Or is it a giant package? Or a phone booth, an elevator, a workshop, a changing room? Endless possibilities that surprise and fascinate young audiences. When objects magically move, new worlds appear. This is object poetry that helps us interrogate and sharpen our gaze and makes the seemingly impossible possible.
