PUPPETS!- Ernest T


I went to an INCREDIBLE puppet show this morning (yup, 11:00 on a Sunday morning) for the International Puppet Theater Festival. It blew my mind! It was just two people, but the set was amazing, involving a lot of objects, wire, magnets and projection that the actors created with while on set. It was extremely wonderful and SO inspiring. And taught me that I will find my way EVEN IF I'm DIFFERENT!! 


Ernest T. is afraid of the world around him… Born amidst a labyrinth of objects and protected by his “mother-hen”, he must one day leave the warmth of this tangled mess and go to school. On his quest he will follow in the footsteps of Louise-Adélaïde. She’s a no-ordinary eccentric that will help him find his true self.

Walking the tightrope of life, Ernest T. juggles with the times. Adorable from head to toe, he embodies “difference”: scary difference, funny difference, thought-provoking difference and, ultimately, the difference that is an integral part of who we are. What if normalcy simply did not exist?

Founded in 2004 by Agnès Zacharie, Ubus Théâtre stages its performances inside a school bus converted into a small theater. Le Périple and L’Écrit were warmly received at every stop as they travelled from Tadoussac to France. Ernest T., Ubus Théâtre’s latest creation, is presented here in the intimate reconstruction of the original bus. With its manipulation of miniature puppets, small objects, light and sound, the show offers its audience a unique brand of magic – with front row seats for all!



Also, this lovely little song that helps describe my morning.
