The Parade - Theatre Lab Company

A fantasy tale of the outside world invading the claustrophobic existence of a brother and sister who live isolated by some unknown history. Everything comes to a climax when the parade comes to town…

…Things are not as innocent as they seem….When does reality become fantasy?…

…”Was it all an illusion?, Did the parade really happen?, Did the soldiers really come or were we just acting out our panic?”…

Antoine Vitez (The Paris Production)
