About the company: Founded in 2005 by the Franco-Peruvian director Valentina Arce, Théâtre Shabano develops multidisciplinary stage productions that blend text, image, sound design, puppetry, shadows, and manipulated materials. The company's creations are aimed at young audiences through visual and sensory languages, celebrating cultural diversity and the plurality of imaginations. Touring shows: Le Bleu des Abeilles (2020), Contes et Murmures du Grand Tambour (2010), and Extra-sensibleS (2024). Winner of the Fondation de France award for the project Ma Parole pour le Vivant, the company affirms a strong commitment to the environment and living things. Ad description ABUELA TREE Susan is ten years old. During the summer holidays, she explores a Savoyard forest guided by her grandmother Abuela, who comes from the Amazon. Together, they traverse the local landscapes and evoke forests from elsewhere, between intimate memories and mythological tales. As they walk, Susan discovers she possesses a gift: perceiving the secret life of the forest. Under her gaze emerge the pulse of the bark, the breath of the mushrooms, the song of the birds, and the memory of the cloud forests that call for rain. A fragile and joyful polyphony, human and non-human, scientific and animistic, unfolds before her and reveals the interconnections of all living things. But summer is drawing to a close. Abuela must return to Peru. Overwhelmed by this experience between dream and reality, will Susan manage to maintain this connection with the forest and continue to hear its voices on her own? The Abuela Tree project, a text by Julie Rossello-Rochet, is a project at the crossroads of visual theatre, puppetry, shadow theatre, and sculptural work. The performance explores forests, from the Bois de Vincennes to the Amazon, their workings, and interconnections through the lens of an intergenerational relationship between a grandmother and a granddaughter. Target audience: young audiences and general public. Description of the desired profile 2 puppeteers: Emerging performers. Puppeteers with a strong stage presence and vocal performance.
