Inspired both by the universe of primitive civilizations and Art Brut, Chibolitos serie is a fragil and spontaneous gesture materializing our desire to preserve our childhood and identity.

The drawings expresses an interior world - animals, Gods, spitits, aliens - they build an archaic and primitive pantheon, but also a post-vision that shows different facets of human history: cosmogony, representation of natural environment, underworld and self-representation.

Faced with the lost of spirituality in our society, Chibolitos is a way to reconnect with our identity, with our extravagance and our eternal quest for the marvelous.

Acting is the search of the meeting with the other, how to tell him/her a stonning story. Theatre is a place where we can share a commun world, a commun dream. Here, we can touch to the intimacy of each of us.

They are there, the Oscur, Moullard, Gloton, Faitard and collateral branches, around a banquet.

Chop Suey, Françoise Cadol
Director: Valia Boulay
Assistant Director : Jérémie Kalil
From the painting of Edward Hopper : or how come alive before our eyes the four characters sitting in a bar in Chicago in 1930 in a deep depression. A play whose atmosphere is reminiscent of Tennessee Williams. Chop Suey is the story of three women and one man who will realize that they are the characters of a painting and someone looks at them: a spectator. Chop Suey is also the story of a look. The look of the spectator who enters the canvas and makes the canvas his mental landscape. Between these realities, there is a bridge. A bridge on which laws are going to play and wants of each other.
