An enormous blue ball in open space. I t moves slowly\, heavily\, yet playfully. Idiosyncratic entities pour out of it\, tentatively\, eyeing each other curiously\, confused\, yet elegant in their actions. No one speaks. The ball changes colour. Multi-coloured drifting ensues. Then: negotiations\, conflict\, laughter. This dynamic gi ves rise to a series of contradictory situations\, including misunderstand ings\, proximity as well as distance. Step by step\, a whimsical community grows out of a kind of situational simultaneity which does not aim for un ity\, but co-existence. Differences remain visible. Therein lies its poeti c power.
Big images and experiential joy are the strengths of this pr oduction. Humour and visual clarity create a theatrical experience for chi ldren and adults alike. This is a piece that gets by with little words whi le dealing with a lot: how community forms\, how differences remain visibl e\, and how understanding is possible beyond language.

The Comp agnie Ivoire Marionnettes from Abidjan\, Ivory Coast\, works with a monume ntal puppet\, which is at once a character\, space\, and counterpart. It a ttracts attention\, gathers people around it\, creates a temporary focus. With no large set and no technical sophistication\, a theatre direct in it s effect unfolds: embodied\, colourful\, inviting.

This is pupp et theatre that explains how diversity can be a common denominator in a fu nny\, entertaining way. If the performance goes topsy-turvy\, everyone can enjoy the diversity\, pause\, and relish it. LA BOULE BLEUE succeeds with flying colours in realising a complex topic like diversity while making i t accessible to young people in a sensory and playful manner.
