Bumblebees, turtles, ants, frogs, swans and elephants … In Chromatique, a dancer and a musician bring an imaginary, teeming zoo to life. Here, you encounter bizarre animals and perhaps even a mermaid, you listen to the buzzing of insects, the sound of rain and the deep song of whales. Inspired by Camille Saint-Saëns’s Carnival of the Animals (1886), this duo perpetuates its humour and fantasy. Fluorescent colours, dances and pop-electro music harmonise in a poetic and unexpected way, activating a multitude of images and sensations within us. Isn’t that the very essence of imagination?

Ah, white rabbits! Your just need a hat or a pocket, to see them appear, just by magic. They’re like that, they can’t help it… When you grab one, or rather, when the mischievous animal puts his tender little pawn on us, what should we do? Letting him narrate to us his secret and poetic stories, naturally. With a few handkerchiefs, guitar notes and other knickknacks wielded with a lot of dexterity, duo Florschütz & Döhnert appeals to the imagination of the young and less young audience members. The infinitesimal becomes grandiose, the ordinary becomes unique and the scene becomes a cosmos where everything, absolutely everything, becomes possible.

Dancer and choreographer Annick Pütz takes the audience on a journey to discover all the senses. On a playfully designed stage, she discovers the materiality of the objects around her and establishes a sensitive relationship with them. The music adapts to her movements and reflects them. Slowly, an enchanted world of sensuality comes into existence.
