NZIAF - Raoul

Leave reality behind and immerse yourself in a place of dreams, imagination and giant puppets as one of physical theatre’s most celebrated sons unleashes his stunning array of skills.

Few do theatrical spectacle better than multi award-winning artist James Thiérrée. Not surprising really, given that he grew up in a renowned theatrical family and has been perfecting the art of performance since he was knee-high to a ringmaster.

After wildly popular Festival performances in 2004 (The Junebug Symphony) and 2006 (Bright Abyss), Thiérrée returns in his new full-length piece as Raoul,a lone figure adrift in an incredible, ever-changing world of billowing sails, steel pipes and driftwood. Alone that is until the arrival of a destructive doppelgänger that attacks Raoul’s home and has him questioning his very identity and existence.

Funny, moving and achingly beautiful, Raoul is a mesmerising journey into the mind of one of Europe’s most creative and versatile artists.
