Les Habits neufs de l’Empereur

This company, also loyal to Vaugarni, has performed almost all its circus and theater creations on a number of occasions, and here offers us a very fine adaptation of this famous tale in the form of shadow theater, a particularly difficult but highly aesthetic technique.
The effect is magnificent, and very well suited to Andersen's tale, which castigates the power of appearances, the hypocrisy of courtiers and the artificial attachment of politicians to the "trappings" (supposedly indispensable and deserved) of their office. It's also a criticism of consumer society!
