What does it mean today to cross borders?
A story of customs questioning what it means today to cross a border, geographical or temporal, open or closed…
Le Tas de Sable – Ches Panses Vertes, National Centre for Puppetry arts (in preparation) located in Hauts-de-France, has taken as a base this text to enlarge it with suitcases full of stories, to entrust the puppets with the task of totemizing the word by embodying characters as different from each other as are the manipulation techniques used by actresses from Ireland, Portugal, Belgium and France.
A poetic creation sown with songs and languages of Europe that blurs the borders wonderfully!
Director: Sylvie Baillon (Liza Cox, Joana Feijo, Emilie Parmentier, Eléonore Antoine Snowden)

A larger international project
For these 90 years, in 2019, UNIMA has launched the project 4 creations 4 continents. Four out of the five geographical areas that make up UNIMA (Europe, America, Asia-Pacific and Africa) worked on a different version of the same story using puppetry. The creations were set up through schools or with young puppeteers in the process of professionalisation from each of these continents to create an original production.
Each team worked on the same scenario which constitutes the basis of the four stagings allowing to show the power of the art to reflect different cultures. This text was selected by an international jury following a call to young authors from around the world
Prior to the European creation, a cycle of workshops in different European countries was organized in 2018 and 2019 to deepen the contemporaneity of puppetry traditions.
