Launched at the turn of the millennium, Motus celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021. We have produced 19 original pieces aimed at young audiences, performing them at the regional, national and international levels – racking up more than 2,200 performances here at home, and also abroad, in China, the U.S., Mexico, Spain, France, Switzerland, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Greece and Costa Rica.

We’ve performed for over 435,000 spectators. Several of our plays have been translated and performed in English, in Spanish, and two in Mandarin, as well as integrating 10 other languages into our pieces.

Motus works in the medium of puppetry arts, reveling in the freedom it offers in dramaturgy and staging, the perfect vehicle for stirring emotions and pushing formal boundaries. Co-artistic directors Hélène Ducharme et Mathilde Addy-Laird explore the relationship between puppets, acting, live music, black and color shadow theatre, and other complementary theatre forms.

Fondé au début du millénaire, Motus a célébré ses 20 ans en 2021. Nous avons produit dix-neuf créations originales en direction du jeune public et diffusé celles-ci à l’échelle régionale, nationale et internationale. Nous avons déjà donné plus de 2200 représentations au Canada, en Chine, aux États-Unis, au Mexique, en Espagne, en France, en Suisse, en Grèce, au Mali, au Burkina Faso, au Costa Rica, en Côte d’Ivoire et au Sénégal. Cela nous a permis de rejoindre plus de 435 000 spectateurs. Plusieurs de nos pièces ont été traduites et jouées en anglais, en espagnol et deux en mandarin, sans oublier l’intégration de plus de 10 autres langues à l’intérieur de nos pièces.

Motus privilégie le médium de la marionnette pour les libertés que celle-ci offre au niveau de la dramaturgie et de la mise en scène, comme véhicule d’émotions et comme objet qui permet de repousser les frontières des formes. Les codirectrices artistiques, Hélène Ducharme et Mathilde Addy-Laird, explorent le mariage entre la marionnette, le jeu de comédien, la musique en direct, le théâtre d’ombres noires et en couleur et toute autre forme théâtrale potentiellement complémentaire à la marionnette.
