INFORMATION AND RESERVATIONS
Show without words
soul mates is a poetic ode to the joy of the Wild Child that every one of us has somewhere inside.
A cross between visual art and performance art, soul mates is an ode to the coming together of the human soul and its Wild Sisters, whose multiple forms are embodied in nature. It is also an ode to Childhood, where living in the present moment, in one’s body and in one’s senses comes naturally.
In these times of great inner emptiness and information overload, soul mates dares to offer a moment of silence, beauty, and wonder, and invites audiences of all ages to experience a timeless experience.
Running time: 50 minutes
Techniques: marionnette habitée et marionnettes à main
Audience: Preschool 5 years + | 1st cycle primary school
A Casteliers and L’illusion, Théâtre de Marionnettes co-presentation.

Magali Chouinard is a multidisciplinary artist. Since 2008, she has been converging her visual arts practice with puppetry.
Creating masks and puppets has given her the opportunity to bring her visual world to life through the performing arts, illustrated books, and animated film.
Driven by her desire to use poetic language, she creates characters and worlds that are symbolic, non-verbal, and in black and white. Her visual poetry is inspired by the multiple ways of relating to doubles, to scales and to materiality, and conveys a reflection on the fragility and depth of being present to oneself and to the natural world.
Her works are an invitation to relax to the contemplative rhythm of images, while observing the emotions and impressions conjured up from within.
