In 2006, two stage and comedy artists from Quebec joined forces to create a theatre company: Le Théâtre Biscornu. Le Théâtre Biscornu uses movement and sound to create narratives set in strange and grotesque worlds.
Francois-Guillaume Leblanc and Karine P. Bouliane both have strong backgrounds in street theatre, improvisation, comedy and mime. They have drawn from these experiences to create Le Théâtre Biscornu.
This company explores strange worlds in which the body and sound occupy an essential place, inspired by the aesthetics of the grotesque, and influenced by German expressionist films, where the figure of the double and its opposite dominate. Le Théâtre Biscornu gives life to caricatural and grandiloquent characters.
A world without words, and the personification of several characters in every performance distinguish the peculiarity of this young company.
Located in Quebec, Canada, Le Théâtre Biscornu possesses a distinct curiosity, and generosity that continues to intrigue its audiences.
Our Mission: Create a theatre of the body and sound where communication between the actor and the spectator transcend the barriers of language.
