Inside a big top tent. Noise coming from outside, and suddenly appear two clueless castaways, seemingly running away and seeking refuge in the tent. Their means of escape: a delivery tricycle on which they tossed a few suitcases.
That is when they meet an odd little fellow living inside a cold, metallic case and whose life seems to have boiled down to the routine gesture of stamping endless piles of documents. We will call this character P’tit Louis. His life is surprisingly reminiscent of the one the two runaways are trying to flee
from. Little by little, they will show P’tit Louis that it is possible to leave this infernal cycle. Together, they will make acts of resistance, facing off the injunctions of a dull, narrow life stuck between work
and television.
« Viens, on se tire! » (“Come, let’s runaway!”) is an invitation to repaint the sky in bright blue with fierce brush strokes.
“We thoroughly enjoyed La Corneille Bleue’s first activist production,
Viens, on se tire !. Through their one and only puppet wearing a tie, Céline and Pauline are two resistance fighters who haven’t given up on their dreams.”
P. Wiame, l’Avenir
“All the evocative power of object theater is once again captured in this gem of meticulous detail, tenderness, and dark humor.”
L. Bertels, La Libre
“The debut production by the object and puppet theater company La Corneille bleue, conceived and directed by Céline Dumont, Viens, on se tire! is a stunning display of virtuosity and technical ingenuity.”
