Coup de Coeur
This week's Coup de Coeur is brought to you by Associate Producer, Presentation, Kasia Leskiewicz
"Great theatre is sometimes wordless. Presented by the Compagnie du Hanneton, RAOUL is a poetic yet almost silent story of a fallen Prince and his surreal world. Interpreted by movement master and grandson of Charlie Chaplin and Eugene O'Neill, James Thierrée, RAOUL is absolutely captivating."
"Thierrée is a masterful clown, a masterful mime and a masterful presence (...)" – The Gazette.
RAOUL is presented at the TOHU from September 4th to 13th. For more information, visit www.tohu.ca |
