Philippe Genty's theatre is a blend of dance, music, puppetry and magic. In this refined world that recalls the poetry of Magritte paintings, scenes follow in succession as in a dream. There isn't just one story, there are thousands, and each spectator has his or her own.

Jan Švankmajer, Punch and Judy 1966
Jan Švankmajer is a czech surrealist artist and filmmaker. His work spans several media. Švankmajer has gained a reputation over several decades for his distinctive use of stop-motion technique, and his ability to make surreal, nightmarish and yet somehow funny pictures. Švankmajer's trademarks include very exaggerated sounds, often creating a very strange effect in all eating scenes. He often uses fast-motion sequences when people walk or interact. His movies often involve inanimate objects being brought to life through stop-motion in a dark and disturbing nature.
