Letters from my father (Die Briefe meines Vaters) Puppen-, Objekt- und Erzähltheater in englischer Sprache von Cie Gare Centrale (BE)

In the organizer's words:

with a few subtitled French passages

In 1959, the Limbos family lived in the Congo, which was still a Belgian colony at the time. A year later, in the year of independence, the children were sent back to Belgium to live with their uncle, a pastor. This episode was traumatic for the then eight-year-old Agnès Limbos.
Her father wrote 46 letters to his children during the period of separation. Little Agnes waited eagerly for each one. "Every time a letter arrived, our uncle would sit down with us in the two large leather armchairs and read it to us solemnly. The seventy-year-old woman I have become now wishes to have a conversation with this young girl."(Agnès Limbos)
The master of object theater opens up a narrative space in which biographical and historical past resonate with each other - as intimate as they are universal.
A puppet, object and narrative theater in English.

The Belgian company Cie Gare Centrale was founded in 1984 by Agnes Limbo.
As an actress, storyteller and object animator, she uses a subtle and constantly evolving visual language. She uses voices and gestures to animate fundamentally different materials in a unique, disturbing and hilarious way, which are never simple illustrations of the dramatic content, but an integral part of it. Agnès Limbos explores the contradictions of universal magic and reality, of tragedy and comedy, to present a kind of theater that is lively, funny, moving and always in a good mood.
