Daïdalos, Theaters of A Maze

Here do we come from? Where are we? Where are we going? Are we lost?

Three curious explorators enter the stage, which quickly becomes a magical space where everything is transformed. Little by little, a maze takes shape and a labyrinth is built in your imagination as long as you accept to let go of your own ways. The adventurers open a number of doors, discover entangled worlds and merge with mythical creatures. Guided by a hero, they will go beyond the walls to confront the Minotaure, a monstrous creature half-man, half-taurus. If they can find a way out, they could very well set foot in the euphoric world of freedom.

The choreography of this show is constructed in a way that the bodies and the objects both contribute to the creation of magnificent images, through the art of puppetry, all of which is brilliantly supported by a beautiful original score.

Extracts from press reviews
  • « These are sixty minutes of pure exploration and of research on the relationship between human beings and objects. It is a theatrical research about the deconstruction of the actor’s body, its representation and the objects in which it projects itself. » -TITERESANTES, Cesc Martinez, Espagne
  • « Similar to a fantasy where everything is deconstructed, this last production of the Saguenay-based company synthesizes with brilliance the dreamlike universe. » – LE QUOTIDIEN, Joël Martel, Canada
  • « A lot of scenes are full of poetry, most notably those where the performers control the head of a puppet… It is done with such precision that we believe it to be alive… the illusion is perfect… We instantly get carried away by the beauty of the gestures. » – LE QUOTIDIEN, Daniel Côté, Canada
