The artist’s latest chapter, up close on our stage

Une drôle de sorcière arrives here at a particularly creative moment for its team, who have refined the show’s timing, physical gags, and musical motifs to meet the energy of a new season. We love how this version privileges clarity and momentum: a quick setup that invites us into the witch’s world; set pieces that pivot with a storyteller’s economy; and a score that flits between playful percussive accents and lyrical cues that cue wonder rather than overwhelm. The visual language—costume textures, hand‑held props, and minimal but evocative scenic elements—sits right at the intersection of theater and imagination, encouraging young minds to “complete” the illusion and adults to relish the craft on display. In conversation with our technical crew, the company has shaped a lighting palette that keeps the magic tactile: glows, glimmers, and shape‑shifting shadows that feel sourced from the character’s own curiosity. That spirit of invention is mirrored in the dramaturgy, which sprinkles timely themes—being different, sharing space, listening before leaping—without slowing the laughter. As a venue, we relish works that balance heart and humor, and this piece stands tall in that tradition: generous, nimble, and confident in the power of simple stagecraft to conjure big feelings.
