Compagnie des Quidams

Moon by the French street theatre troupe Compagnie des Quidams is a tangible dream that sweeps you into another world.

Compagnie des Quidams is an international theatre troupe that has enjoyed global success thanks to their wonderful performances. Long stilted figures swathed in white robes emerge from the shadows. They silently wait for each other on street corners and under trees. These seem like secret encounters. As they slowly disappear, they invite the audience to follow them. Step by step, the actors change into huge blow-up dolls and then, once their heads are fully illuminated, their otherworldly quality truly reaches its peak. Meanwhile, the audience is treated to strange, magical music in anticipation of the UFO that could land at any moment.

Jean-Baptiste Duperray, creator and artistic director of Compagnie des Quidams, founded the company in 1994 and has chosen to work with a wide range of artists since. Compagnie des Quidams is a renowned and celebrated company that will offer daily performances during Cultura Nova.
