Le Carrousel, founded in 1975, is a theatre company devoted essentially to creating and performing shows for young audiences. Under director Marie-Eve Huot, who has succeeded co-founders Suzanne Lebeau and Gervais Gaudreault, the company researches and develops its theatre projects in Québec and presents them throughout the world. Over fifty years, it has performed before more than a million spectators on four continents and presented shows in a variety of languages (French, English, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, Polish, and Japanese).

Le Carrousel is a team of theatre people who gather to conceive, create, produce, and perform shows for children, from the very young to those on the threshold of the next stage. As we are convinced that all children are capable of perceiving the symbolic dimension of theatrical works, we trust young audiences, just as we trust the artists to reach out to them most appropriately. We relentlessly pursue a quest for responsibility and meaning that impels us to create shows that are sensitive and adapted to children.

This mission involves in-depth research and creative work, which requires time, space, and experimentation. The questions “What do we say to children?” and “How can we say what we want to say?” are always on our minds, pushing us to constantly renewed reflection.

Compagnie de théâtre fondée en 1975, Le Carrousel se consacre essentiellement à la création et la diffusion de spectacles pour les jeunes publics. Sous la direction de Marie-Eve Huot, qui a succédé aux cofondateurs Suzanne Lebeau et Gervais Gaudreault, la compagnie mène ses recherches et développe ses projets artistiques au Québec, et les diffuse partout dans le monde. Depuis cinquante ans, elle a touché plus d’un million de spectateurs sur quatre continents et présenté des spectacles en différentes langues (français, anglais, espagnol, italien, mandarin, polonais et japonais).

Le Carrousel est une équipe théâtrale rassemblée pour inventer, créer, produire et faire rayonner des spectacles en direction des enfants et des jeunes. Persuadés qu’ils sont tous capables de percevoir la dimension symbolique d’une œuvre, nous faisons confiance aux jeunes spectateurs, comme nous faisons confiance aux artistes pour les toucher le plus justement. Nous poursuivons sans relâche une quête de responsabilité et de sens qui nous pousse à créer des spectacles sensibles et adaptés à l’enfance.

Cette mission implique un travail approfondi de recherche et de création, qui nécessite du temps, de l’espace et de l’expérimentation. « Quoi dire aux enfants? » et « Comment dire ce que l’on veut dire? » sont les principales questions qui nous animent, dans une réflexion sans cesse renouvelée.
