The Maker (Le Créateur ) : Dan Colley / Manus Halligan / Raymond Keane

Burlesque and wordless, a perfectly Beckettian duo of metaphysical clowns. French premiere.

One holds a book, the other a broom. With moon-like faces and pantomime, here are two clowns re-enacting the eternal master and servant duo where, as one might suspect, the more foolish is not who you think.

Irreverent as they should be, they try their hand at small feats of prestidigitation that don't always produce the expected result.

A little dance and objects appear, they play with theatrical effects, their act is perfectly rehearsed and they could have stopped there… But then the machine goes wild and the affair takes a more astonishing, even somewhat metaphysical turn.

Beckett and Buster Keaton combined might be pulling the strings of this strange story from behind the scenes… Maïa Bouteillet FOCUS IRELAND In a beautiful surge, Ireland invites its artists to embark on its European adventure.

A precious support that the Théâtre de la Ville, with its Irish partners, brings to life in a five-week journey of astonishing diversity.

For all ages, 10 projects and 30 performances to celebrate this powerful and embodied culture, and to sail with a poetry that gives the right to dream. Céad míle fáilte romhaibh! (Welcome in Gaelic)
