About
On Friday, January 22, 2027, the Léo Delibes Conservatory in Clichy presents Frantz, a compelling production performed by five actors trained at the Jacques Lecoq International Theatre School. Combining movement, singing, mime, and foley, the troupe explores the story of a young man coping with his father's disappearance. Using everyday objects like paper, plastic bags, and tools, the performers craft an immersive visual and sonic landscape. This performance, which is accessible to wheelchair users, is recommended for audiences aged 10 and up. Expect a creative blend of object theatre, music, and handcrafted cinema that celebrates the transformative power of performance.
There are five of them. Five actors trained at the Jacques Lecoq International Theatre School, masters of the art of movement, singing, mime, and sound effects. With delightful inventiveness, they bring Frantz to life, the story of a young man whose daily life is turned upside down by the disappearance of his father.
Using simple objects—paper, plastic bags, buckets of water, sheet metal, or drills—they create striking soundscapes and a rich visual universe live on stage. Every sound becomes an emotion, every object a character, every gesture an invitation to travel.
Blending object theatre, music, and artisanal cinema, Frantz unfolds an imagination of astonishing richness where humor and poetry constantly respond to each other.
Accessible to the whole family, this show of rare creativity celebrates the power of acting and the magic of theatre. A sensory and inventive adventure that amazes as much as it moves.
