La bulle
The WestK FunFest is back for its second edition from March 26 to April 27, and one of the events in the multimedia art programmes is La bulle. Literally translated as ‘the bubble’, this is a mime performance by internationally acclaimed Canadian dance theatre company Corpus. Featuring the character Pierrot dressed in monochrome costume and makeup, the performance takes place inside a giant transparent bubble, in which the character connects with his audience through mime, dance, text, and drawing. Though innocuous and humorous at times, La bulle also shows the sorrow and absurd sides of existence.
Tickets to see La bulle are available for $200, and audiences are free to sit or move around the bubble tent as they please.
