DynamO Théâtre has been part of Quebec’s young people’s theatre landscape for over 40 years.

With its 27 original productions performed all over the world for more than 1.5 million spectators, the company undeniably contributes to renewing the practice in theatre for young audiences. Its unique approach challenges, reflects and defines the art of acrobatic movement and clowning in theatre by carrying on its work with the same fieriness and passion it had when it began in 1981.

Its work method is based on in-rehearsal playwriting.

It searches, explores and creates using bodies in space, in the same way a playwright does with words on a blank page. Its playwriting is therefore carried out on a stage and collaborators are invited throughout the creative process. This type of theatre involves risk-taking. Over the years, the company developed a unique physical vocabulary, method and language, all of which have fashioned the company’s signature style. It deals with rhythms, speeds, scale, fixed points, momentum, freeze and acrobatics … We speak movement! Yet, the company keeps highlighting dramaturgy, that of bodies as well as that of words. In rehearsal, the ever-evolving scriptwriting is enhanced and each new production demonstrates it.

The company wants to offer daring theatre to wide-ranging audiences -children, teenagers and families- and tell stories that will thrill them both physically and emotionally by considering the world through a whole range of movements, images and text. The playground is large and wide and the company’s greater ambition is to touch the hearts of humans, young and old.

DynamO Théâtre œuvre dans le paysage du théâtre jeunesse québécois depuis plus de 40 ans.

Forte de ses 27 créations originales jouées partout à travers le monde devant plus de 1,5 million de spectateur·rices, la compagnie contribue indéniablement au renouvellement de la pratique en théâtre jeune public. Notre démarche singulière questionne, réfléchit, définit l’art du mouvement acrobatique et du jeu clownesque au théâtre en poursuivant son travail avec la même fougue et la même passion qu’à ses débuts en 1981.

Notre méthode de travail s’ancre dans une écriture scénique.

Nous cherchons, explorons et créons avec les corps dans l’espace, comme un auteur le fait avec des mots sur une page blanche. Notre écriture en est donc une de plateau, où nos collaborateur·rices sont convié·es tout au long de nos processus de création. C’est un théâtre périlleux. Au fil du temps, nous avons développé un vocabulaire physique, une méthode, un langage qui nous sont propres et qui ont fait la signature de la compagnie. Nous parlons rythmes, vitesses, ampleur, points fixes, élans, suspension, acrobaties … Nous parlons mouvement! Et pourtant, nous accordons une place toujours grandissante à la dramaturgie, celle des corps comme celle des mots. À partir de l’espace scénographique, l’écriture scénique, toujours en évolution, se raffine et s’affirme à chaque nouvelle production.

Notre équipe est soucieuse d’offrir un théâtre audacieux à un large public, enfants, adolescent·es et familles, de leur raconter des histoires qui les feront vibrer physiquement et émotivement, de réfléchir le monde à travers les prismes du mouvement, de l’image et du texte. Notre terrain de jeu est vaste et notre ambition de rejoindre les cœurs humains, petits et grands, plus vaste encore.
