Grandeur Nature
Giant model, puppets, characters filmed in the moment: a proposition of superb aesthetics… at child's height. The child who plays is a giant. They create the world, their world. When the adult bursts in, this world immediately disappears, and the child becomes… a minuscule subject again. This back and forth between the scales of childhood forms the framework of Grandeur nature, a silent show of exceptional visual artistry, which explores all the craftsmanship of theatre and model-making – the large-scale reproduction of a doll's house animated through a meticulous video device is magnificent. At the helm is the Robert de profil company, which has enjoyed success for over fifteen years, and renews the forms of theatre for young audiences. Dominique Catton & Nathalie Nath Elvan Hall, a young spirit from Am Stram Gram, tells you about Grandeur nature It's a doll's house. Look! it even has a garage that opens, a small cellar… there, a bathroom with a mini sink… super cute mini tiles… and the bedroom, oooh!... did you see? the tiny pillow, the tiny globe, the lamps are so cute, and… the wallpaper is so… delicate! How about we say we're fairies or mice? HAAAAAN! There, there… the the the… mini world… Has it grown? Or… are we tiny!?! Rooooh, it's a magic house, look at the fish dancing through the washing machine's porthole, and the plant that grows, grows, grows… Hmm, hmm. The giants, there. Are they... the parents?
