PRESS REVIEWS
The action takes place over four seasons, both night and day, allowing for stunning and delightful set changes. We are in a magical puppet theatre, which fills the stage and where the manipulators are completely hidden. All of the focus is on the objects and the puppets, some of which are enormous, that appear in the magnificent set (it must be emphasized – it is truly magnificent) by Richard Lacroix. He co-wrote the story with Simon Boudreault, who is responsible for the stage direction.
Josiane Desloges, LE SOLEIL, December 7, 2011 (English Translation by Graham Soul)
Sur 3 pattes is a visually-engaging experience with plenty of humour to capture the attention of the very young. The manipulation of the video-camera puppet was particularly strong, injecting real personality into the rusted, inanimate object.
Kathryn Greenaway, THE GAZETTE, May 27, 2011
The simple idea of giving life to this camera — like all of the other “garbage” that will be recycled one way or another over the years — is brilliant, all the more so as it makes it possible to play with perspective and changes of size, from very large to very small, during the three seasons in which we see the camera evolve.
Michel Bélair, LE DEVOIR, May 20, 2011 (English Translation by Graham Soul)
With Théâtre de l’Œil, we have become accustomed over the years to veritable journeys into the imagination, and Sur Trois pattes (3-Legged Tale) by Simon Boudreault, which was presented Wednesday and Thursday at the Coups de theatre, is certainly no exception to the rule.
Michel Bélair, LE DEVOIR, November 20, 2010 (English Translation by Graham Soul)
Well received by the school groups invited to the premiere (…), the techniques used are extremly effective when the camera becomes closely interested by life in mutation, the result of which is projected on a large screen at the back of the stage.
