Making invisible and mischievous beings appear. In Nathalie Béasse's monster parade, the set comes alive and dances in a world where magic reigns supreme. It's no longer a theater but a gentle and surprising ghost train. Nathalie Béasse takes us on a journey with her first play for young audiences, a vibrant scenography that stimulates the imagination around what frightens us. The director, visual artist, and choreographer explores multiple variations. Four characters, by turns magicians, shape-shifters, and prop masters, activate the sets and change costumes in a space-time continuum where each element interacts with another. Nathalie Béasse has a unique talent in each of her plays for capturing attention and listening: details are no longer mere details; objects come to life, generating an ever-renewed theatrical illusion. The sound of an insect, a light crossing space, a Pandora's box on wheels, an object that talks, a door slamming, a shadow appearing: each child can tell their own story and laughter is never far away.
