Version française

Léon, a taciturn, elderly man, lives in a small suburban flat. He has been living there alone for several years now, desperate to reconnect. While preparing the meal, Léon loses himself at times in a crazy phantasmagoria, where everything around him that seems inert comes to life. The objects and food interact with Léon and give him powerful experiences, giving him more and more vitality and emotion. This constant to-and-fro between a gloomy reality and a radiant imagination will only make his final return to solitude all the more violent.
Léon is a multi-technique puppet show for young audiences, inspired in particular by black theatre, bunraku and puppetry. This is the first show by the Quartête collective, a group of four artists from Liège (BE)
