"Une perle de mime et de poésie. Jamais le vide n’a été aussi plein de sens."

"A three ring circus with only four people but what a ride! In just under an hour this physical theatre gives not only the eyes but the ears and the brain much work and satisfaction. Well done."

About The Little Soldiers:

“Destiny has two ways of crushing us, by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them”.

Henri Frederic Amiel

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”.

Carl Jung

Everyone knows what circus is. Everyone knows that it takes place in a big top with a sawdust ring and loud music; that it is introduced by a whip-cracking ringmaster and is presented by manly men and glamorous women. Everyone knows that it appeals to our most primal emotions, that it is here today and gone tomorrow. It is in this mysteriously ambiguous world on the borderline of reality and illusions that our play takes place. Our subject is simple: an endless rivalry between two brothers.

Within that frame, we portray the internal voyage on which the two brothers embark to follow their dream. This voyage takes them to the abyss of their own minds where the dream slowly becomes an obsession. With The Little Soldiers we are taking a leap into the world of the unconscious to explore what happens when folly takes over men’s mind and when ambition goes beyond moral constraint. 

So, our setting is an old circus tent, our little soldiers are circus performers pursuing the same ballerina and the fine line between the reality of the dream and the illusion of the show starts to blur.
