This thirtieth edition of Apéro DésAstres will present two works in progress: Chat Perché, a shadow theatre performance by Lucille Delbecque, supported by Cie Le Navire, and Doppelgänger, a puppet theatre and new magic performance by Eliott Lust, supported by Cie Ecchymose.

Chat because

Juliette has a cat, all her own. Her dad gave it to her, and she loves it dearly. One day, her cat goes missing. Juliette looks for it in the streets of the town but soon realises she won't be able to find it on her own. She then asks the cats she meets on her way to help her find her four-legged companion. A nocturnal investigation to find a feline on the loose, in shadow theatre.

Doppelgänger

Georges is searching for a solution. THE miracle solution. Georges looks at himself every day, from every angle. It's never good enough. Too big, too thin, too broad, too narrow. The images are constantly imperfect. Creams, elixirs, grandmother's remedies, and other miracle recipes never overcome this obsessive feeling. Doppelgänger is a dive into the quest for self-love, a struggle against the idea of a single body in a society shaped by powerful conformity.
