La Marche Du Crabe

La marche du crabe is a company dedicated to researching and creating live performances specifically tailored for early childhood and young audiences. It advocates for a close sensory approach, tailoring every aspect of its creations to the needs of its diverse spectators. At the intersection of circus arts, dance, and theater, accompanied by the symbolism of stage props, the creations establish themselves as intimate acts seeking to renew the dialogue between artists and spectators. La marche du crabe takes the stance of addressing sensitive themes openly to all its audiences, from infants to adolescents, from adults to seniors. Embracing the unpredictability of the moment, the company orchestrates improvised performances, focusing on the execution of an action, its authenticity, and its significant impact. Its immersive environments, on-site encounters, and close-proximity shows with the audience foster an intimate connection, an emotional resonance, and symbolics, grounded in the surrounding reality. In doing so, La marche du crabe nurtures its creative processes through cultural mediation encounters to confront and confirm the direction of the work; from tone to aesthetics, from storytelling to staging. The company designs arts awareness workshops to reach its audience, preparing or extending their engagement with its works. Participants are guided to explore the expressive capacities of their bodies and voices, sharing their creativity and imagination, fostering an exchange that promotes a sense of community. Eco-responsibility, mentoring, and resource-sharing drive their actions.
