Description

Ombres Folles present a world driven by imagination, creating shows that awaken the whimsical spirit of young and adult. Committed to the development of contemporary puppetry, the company explores the playfulness of shadow and object theater, while questioning our fears, taboos and foibles.

With its shows, Ombres Folles offers a luminous and inventive vision of the world. By choosing stories with a strong dramaturgy and infusing them with a healthy dose of poetry, humor and humanism, the company’s artists create works capable of traveling, both geographically and through the hearts of spectators.

Founded in 2005, Ombres Folles has created 8 shows and given over 600 performances in venues across Canada, South Korea, the United States, France, Serbia and Ukraine.
