Travelling theatre
Travelling theatre enables us to reach out to people, in the centre of towns as well as in the countryside. It thus becomes a bond of union, enabling theatre to go beyond the confines of its walls and out into the street. In contributing to the urban and rural environment, our travelling theatre establishes a very particular relationship with the community, a time of exchange that goes beyond artistic representation and builds a dynamic of encounters between the artists and the public.
The travelling troupe of the Baladins is thus able to reach out to very diverse audiences, particularly in its pursuit of decentralisation in both rural and urban environments. Opting for a slow travel regime, with long presences, a unique rapport with the public and the inhabitants to create a link between the work presented and the areas travelled through.
" Theatre is poetry that rises from the book and becomes human "
Lorca
