Pekee-nuee-nuee

The Show

Premiered in May 2011 at the Festival Excentrique

This show is no longer available for touring

Shadow and music theatre
all ages (4 years and older)

Amid the darkness, a mysterious box lights up and a machine comes to life. An explorer, a fisherman and a musician set off across the ocean, each driven by an uncertain quest — their destinies converging in the mysterious depths of the unknown.

Their adventures play out in the form of shadow theatre, where a luminous underbelly becomes the stage for a series of metamorphoses, reflections and moments of lucidity. Pekee-nuee-nuee is a dreamy musical performance in which each scene reveals a fragile tableau vivant, a real world in black and white whose countless colours can only be revealed through the magic of imagination.
