Show without words

In the best of cabaret act tradition, master magician Kosma takes to the stage with his assistant Goupil. One magical trick leads to another, but the mechanism breaks down because Goupil is a rebellious assistant! After all, he was once a fox, and then a scarf, before settling into this job. In this classic comedy duet, the magic gradually pushes us over the edge into a world of cartoon animation that comes to life before our very eyes. A tribute to Tex Avery and Pixar classics.

With every magic trick, laughter sweeps over us, and we get caught in a net of tenderness—or rather in a hat of tenderness. From one surprise to the next, we travel into the world of magic, cabaret, and cartoons. Steeped in gentleness, this duo gently shakes our foundations so that our spirits can finally escape – Lubéron Cœur de Provence

Running time: 30 minutes

Company

Etienne Saglio’s work revolves around magic and the manipulation of objects. Following his studies at the CNAC, he created his first show, Variations pour piano et polystyrène in 2007, inspired by his encounter with pianist Madeleine Cazenave.

In 2009, he created Le Soir des Monstres. Then, in 2011, the visual arts and magic installation Le Silence du Monde. He strives to create magical experiences steeped in mystery and poetry, and to develop the sensitive side of magic.

Building on his first work, he created Les Limbes in 2014. As part of his ongoing aesthetic and visual research, he developed an installation for public spaces, Projet Fantôme, in 2015. All his projects continue to tour.
