Events Description

 

At the dawn of the 1950s, a handful of intrepid hunters is scattered across the north-east coast of Greenland.
Confinement, solitude, rationing, harsh weather…it’s not always easy to keep a cool head under such conditions.
And yet, the vast wilderness, the majestic snow-covered expanse and the unlikely tales of our trusty comrades leave us longing for adventure and freedom. Are they truths, lies or myths? Who knows? One thing is certain: these extraordinary escapades will most certainly charm you!

Arctic Tall Tales were originally a collection of short stories brimming with humour and humanity, as well as a series of delightfully addictive graphic novels. But here we present you with a larger than life version, unlike you’ve ever seen, where puppetry, storytelling, live music and sound are blended to create a universe both uproarious and poetic.

Presented in partnership with WP Puppet Theatre and Alliance Française.

Please note: the Thursday March 13 showing is in French. The Friday March 14 showing is in English.
