THÉÂTRE MOTUS

Where does the word Motus come from? From the Latin to move.

Théâtre Motus, a motor of creation and emotions

10 years with young audiences

10 seasons of creation, of exploring new worlds and of nourishing cultural exchanges.

Already six creations under our belt and many projects either in the oven or in progress. These 10 years are like a stepping stone: the same audacity at heart the same unknown before us, but, this time, with a public who supports us, peers who encourage us and, most of all, our experience to guide our desire.

10 years, a springboard into tomorrow!

Founded in 2001 by Hélène Ducharme and Sylvain Massé, Théâtre Motus creates shows that combine puppeteering, acting techniques, coloured shadow theatre and music, in order to give life to original creations intended for young audiences.
Right from the beginning of a project, the two partners surround themselves with a team of creative partners who enrich and strengthen their artistic research. The idea is for them to remain open to the various artistic approaches by their peers, integrating the knowledge and striving to move the theatre practice forward.
The company, which tours its shows internationally, has already performed nearly eight hundred times here, in France, Spain, the United States, Mexico, Mali and Greece. Since its inception, Motus collaborates with venues including, notably, the Théâtre de la Ville. These creation residencies, which usually spread over two years, allow to verify the resonance that the creations have with children.
In connection with their research and production work, the artistic directors are always looking to interact with young spectators: from post-performance meetings through specialized workshops, to joint projects in development, every effort is made to encourage connections with young audiences.
Théâtre Motus, a theatre moving quickly and to be followed at a good pace!
