En route to her family vacation, Clémentine suddenly learns that her parents are no longer in love. The word “divorce” hurts to hear. She promises herself to do everything she can to prevent it. But does a little girl really get to decide her parents’ story?

The Kleine Compagnie was founded in 2020 on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, in the city also known as Vancouver. This company develops intimate and poetic theatre for young and old alike, inspired by object theatre, puppetry, clowning and visual arts.
Théâtre de la Pire Espèce – Theatre Creation company
Since 1999, La Pire Espèce has borrowed and merged techniques from different disciplines such as puppetry, theatre of objects, clowning, cabaret and street theatre. By exploring the creative process, the company explores stage conventions and the rules of dramatic narration, and seeks to establish a close complicity with the audience.
La Pire Espèce has created 26 original works, one exhibition, two street theatre pieces, seven cabarets and shared more than 1800 performances. Half of these were performed abroad while touring in Europe and around the world. The company’s impressive body of work includes five Spanish translations, nine English translations, one Korean translation, one Portuguese translation, a bold adaptation for the deaf, seven co-productions in Quebec and Europe, and several professional workshops for theatre artists and teachers.
La Pire Espèce was the driving force behind Carte Premières, the largest independent theatre ticket subscription network in Canada between 2004 and 2015 –– and a founding member of Aux Écuries, the creative and performance space for up-and-coming theatre companies.[/cq_vc_tab_item][/cq_vc_tabs]
