Children at Play Theatre
Children at Play Theatre est une compagnie de théâtre de cirque fondée par le jongleur et artiste de théâtre de cirque William Alex Larson .
Le Théâtre des Enfants en Jeu a vu le jour lorsqu'Alex et quelques amis jonglaient dans la rue. Une mère nous a vus et, sans discuter, a placé un panneau sur la route sur lequel était écrit : Caution! Children at Play.
En mettant l'accent sur la narration réfléchie à travers le cirque et le théâtre physique, la compagnie a depuis connu le succès au Denver Fringe Festival, au Toronto Fringe Festival et au Theatre Kingston Fringe Festival avec le spectacle original Are You Catching What I'm Throwing ?
Are You Catching What I'm Throwing?
Un spectacle de théâtre et cirque pour d'une personne. Utilisant de manière ludique la jonglerie, la manipulation d'objets, et le théâtre physique pour raconter l'histoire de l'isolement et de la connexion.
Des Critiques :
Denver Fringe Festival: (Audience Reviews)
"Absolutely charming from beginning to end, the story speaks to each of us looking to find the place where we fit in."
​
"An authentic, from-the-heart performance! This show is a heartwarming exploration about yearning for connection with other people."
​
"Alex's show was inventive and unique. His juggling was spot on, and his character work was fantastic. Do yourself a favor and come see this brilliant blend of theater and juggling."
​
Toronto Fringe Festival:
"the show is fun and playful and funny and everything you would expect from a juggling show, but it’s got heart."
-Girl Likes Theatre
​
"Larson’s performance is endearing and impressive: it’s always fascinating to see someone do something you can’t. The character, perhaps Larson themselves, juggles the balls life throws at them. And life throws hard."
-Kemi Kim, Intermission Magazine
​
"[the show] is far more of a bittersweet dramedy about loneliness and yearning for connection through shared passion than it is a circus act. It’s the best of clown, mime, and melancholy if not the best of juggling."
-Kelly Bedard, My Entertainment World
