The gentle sadness of things
DÉJÀ is inspired by the award-winning graphic novel Here by Richard McGuire.
It takes place in a single location, 20 square meters of a living room, but on a massive timeframe – reaching deep into the past (80 006 032 BCE) and projecting into the future (7 billion CE). Multiple characters from different times coexist and interact in this space, and create an accumulation of cocktail parties, arguing couples, geiger counters, a fire, a flooding, arrivals and farewells.
Through expressive movement, magical illusion, puppetry, and striking imagery, the Krumple seeks to create a living time-capsule of the current moment, everything that has led up to it, and project where humanity might be going. It questions our significance, or rather – our insignificance, faced with the passing of time.
It all happened here.
Company presentation
Founded in 2013, the Krumple is a french-norwegian collective that seeks to create visually arresting theatre without borders. The human is at the forefront of everything we do, each show walking a fine line between sensitivity and stupidity, as we strive to look through both ends of the telescope for what usually cannot be seen. All shows are devised collaboratively, and without anyone taking themselves (too) seriously. We often seek to laugh and to make others laugh, and to tell stories in a non linear fashion, with a leaning towards the poetic and the surreal.
