The curtain rises, like a loud cry that tears through the night on rue St-Dominique. Two acrobats in tights arrive on stage, with masks on their faces, and pirouettes and confetti in their arsenal! The audience is invited to witness a colourful ceremony with characters as far as the eye can see! Get your tomatoes ready, because it won’t always be jolly. The actors are at risk. They lack support. Are you ready to discover the highs and lows of acting? Will they be able to hold onto the audience’s good will?
Like a screech that rips through the night on la rue St-Dominique, the curtain rises. Charged by the theatre gods to tell the tale of the deathly hallows from litterary phenomenon Harry Potter, two jesters in tights get on the stage, a mask on their face and a couple tricks up their sleeve. On the menu for the night, murder, betrayal, pride, love, passion and prejudice… the audience is conveyed to an extraordinary ceremony with characters as far as the eye can see! Brace yourselves, it won’t always be funny. Are you ready to discover the ups and downs of these 2 stuntmen of the sensitive and of the storytelling? Will they be able to hold the wire of friendship that links them to the audience? After 8 years of practicing in a room with nylon stocking on their heads, they finally open the doors of showbusiness to offer, in the humblest of ways, the greatest mask show of the decade.
