The Oath of the Pedestal Table

Little by little, the set comes to life: a small pedestal table shivers, a doll seems to watch, a piece of furniture moves without us really knowing why. Between object theatre, ingenious robotisation and deliciously DIY effects, Le Serment du Guéridon blurs the boundaries between illusion and reality. The objects become playing partners, rebel, dance and transform this familiar living room into a terrain of mysterious experiments. Inspired by tales of paranormal phenomena, the show explores with humour and poetry the murky zones between science, imagination and intuition. We doubt, we observe, we question ourselves... and we slowly let ourselves be drawn into this game of illusions where the rational falters. As the phenomena unfold, the living room becomes a veritable testing ground where a chill, fantasy and curiosity meet. Here, the codes of horror cinema are mischievously hijacked: sometimes we shiver, but above all we marvel and have fun imagining what hides just behind reality.
