A New World
Summary
A Grand Lady invites us into a game of creation… Magician, goddess, or both at once? From darkness and void, she makes a colourful world spring forth, inhabited by creatures that must learn to live together. The fragrant rose bush and the skunk that smells, a loner bear and a squirrel in the pangs of love, birds and fish arguing over the blueness of the sky and the sea… Likeable creatures who are trying to have a place in the sun.
Intended for very young children, Un Autre Monde / A New World broaches the universal theme of tolerance. A poetic fable which invites reflection and accepting differences…
Un Autre Monde / A New World is a finely-chiselled text, like the work of a silversmith. I looked for a balance between the words, the rhythm and puppetry medium. The show’s content is inspired by childhood, however the stakes are human: the issue of creating and all the uncertainty and hesitation that this implies in the face of the void.
Réjane Charpentier
Un Autre Monde premiered at the festival Les Coups de Théâtre in Montreal in 1990.
Réjane Charpentier’s script is published in French by Lanctôt Éditeur.
