The Toad Knew

Step into the beautifully weird world of multi-talented perfomer and director James Thierrée.

Following Tabac Rouge in 2014, Thierrée returns with his latest critically acclaimed creation, featuring a seamless mix of mechanical marvels, music, surreal humour and acrobatic finesse.

Six characters emerge in a strange fairy-tale. A woman transforms into a lizard, a piano plays itself, plates magically appear and disappear. In the middle of it all Thierrée works his magic with the aid of a squat servant, only to have it outdone by a man beast, and aerialist Thi Mai Nguyen and contortionist Valérie Doucet spin their tricks.
