Presenting Théâtre de la Pire Espèce, Quebec’s famed Object Theatre company,
Featuring masterful table-top puppetry, this Object Theatre piece was created in May 2016 by four actors during a Théâtre de la Pire Espèce collective laboratory devoted to short forms. The show has been loved and acclaimed by audiences and reviewers at several festivals in both Canada and France.
These public performances are part of the company’s two-week 2020 residency at Presentation House Theatre where they provided workshops and mentorship for experienced local puppetry artists.

Review:
The greatest emotions sometimes arise from the most minimalist representations in terms of technical and human means. Personally, I was really impressed by the talent of Francis Monty and Alexandre Leroux, from the Théâtre de la Pire Espèce, a theatre company from Quebec, who manage with almost nothing (toy cars, cotton, Russian dolls or a small wooden house, etc.) to take the audience on a journey through it. – Cristina Marino, L’arbre aux contes, blog Le Monde
