Artistic statement from Bruno Gagnon, General & Artistic Director & Founding Member:
When I was small, my mother always told me:
“Stop jumping, stop running about, calm down, and stand still for 2 minutes.”
And, of course, I knocked something over when I tripped on my shoe laces; I broke a glass when I spilled my orange juice … “I told you so,” she said.
15 years later, I still play around whenever I can. I throw objects in the air, I juggle with my eggs in the morning, I leap about everywhere; my friends throw me into the air and catch me just for fun.
I can still hear my mother saying, “Be careful, don’t go too fast, watch where you’re going …”
More often than not, adults have forgotten how to play and have fun.
How to play in the bath, to make music while cooking, to dance to the sound of music…
Somewhere along the line, certain ones among us lose their inner child; the one who amazes us, delights us, fills us with happiness and keeps us alive.
Oh my, what do we have here?
A bag full of oranges, a big red balloon, a swing, a slide, a diabolo, a trampoline…
Come on, let’s have some fun…
