Théâtre du Sursaut

Our company is dedicated to visual theatre. The body, physical commitment, gesture, and scenography are the pillars of our explorations. We are guided in the creation of non-realistic universes by the mask, puppetry, and Object Theatre. We are interested in disparity in all its forms. The humor we develop is absurd, tinged with excess, poetry, cruelty, and drama. The human being is at the center of our creations: We explore their flaws, moods, conflicts, clumsiness, fears, limits, functions, etc. We play with this overflowing humanity through humor and emotion. Between popular tradition and innovative research, we offer a theatre that brings people together; young and old alike find themselves sharing a moment at the heart of a visual poetry.
