FROM APRIL 7th TO 23rd 2023
BETWEEN REALITY AND IMAGINATION
For its 3rd edition, Chaplin's World presents a new show produced by the Starlight Circus School for even more emotions and surprises...
In honour of Charlie Chaplin, a 400-seat circus tent is being built on the grounds of the Manoir de Ban to surprise and amaze young and old alike. While playing with the world of silent cinema and Chaplin's music, the young budding artists of the Starlight Circus School present a programme of unique acrobatic and theatrical performances; a tailor-made show, full of poetry, that blurs the line between reality and imagination.
A projectionist travels from town to town, pulling his handcart, which serves as his home. On the built-in screen, he presents shadow stories to the delight of passers-by.
Alone in his boredom, he creates, thanks to his magic lantern, imaginary characters and stories that keep him company. The shadows and silhouettes, animated by desire, pass from the screen to the real world.
The dream becomes reality, the paper shadows turn into acrobats and live their own silent adventures. The audience is carried away from act to act in a colourful story.
Written and produced by Christopher D. Gasser.
