Dimanche

A family is about to spend their Sunday together, a family tradition. But suddenly the walls are shaking, strong winds and torrential rain rage outside and the storm has only just begun. In the middle of this climatic chaos, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain a normal family life.

The performance is part of the Pop Up Puppets International Festival hosted by Marionetteatern, at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in Stockholm August 22-25, 2024. See full program here.

The Belgian puppet performance Dimanche paints a witty and tender portrait of humanity surprised by the uncontrollable forces of nature. 

In the middle of this climatic chaos, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain a normal family life. In doing so, the play observes the creativity of humans as they try to preserve their day-to-day habits, going to absurd extremes to keep up a sense of normalcy despite the chaos of an ecological collapse. Meanwhile, three travelling wildlife reporters are doing their best to document the apocalypse. They film, with what little equipment they have, Earth's last living species: three wild animals on the brink of extinction.

This puppet show is written and directed by Julie Tenret from the Belgian company Focus & Chaliwaté. Together with Sicaire Durieux and Sandrine Heyraud she has created several acclaimed international shows combining theater of objects, puppets, actors and video.

The scenic language Julie Tenret proposes is essentially visual metaphorical, poetic, artisanal, very close to a cinematographic writing. Her shows are aimed to all audiences and deal with social issues starting from the intimate to reach the universal. 

Adults from 15 years.
