THE WHITE LADY*
The White Lady is a silent, white, slow wandering giant puppet with four
puppeteers: her – feminine and wise figure, powerful and sober, and them – brilliant and
grotesque. The image is beautiful, poetic, and unusual.
In these troubled times, following the pandemic and the lockdown, there is a
growing need to give people magic and suspense. The creation of this largescale puppet felt fitting amidst theatre closures, show cancellations, and difficulties with gathering people in one place. It is a simple yet poetic march that can be performed at events by other
artists, markets, and various other festivities. Do not miss the opportunity to meet the White Lady in person.
DERAÏDENZ, AVIGNON, REPUBLIC OF FRANCE
Deraïdenz, a theatre and puppetry company from Avignon, France, creates itself in strange theatre. Deraïdenz creates atmosphere, looks for the deepness of emotions and tames the mystery with aesthetic distance, joyous derision, and poetry. Since its creation in Avignon in February 2017, Deraïdenz has created shows, wanderings, small form events and unique evenings. Its authenticity is most evident in its workshops and constructions of puppets, masks, and other curiosities. Deraïdenz favours complete creation, from screenwriting to music composition, set design, manufacturing of costumes and construction of puppets to the life of company members, with the awareness that it is evolving in a world in ruins.
Léa Guillec, Baptiste Zsilina and Coline Agard founded the heart of Deraïdenz.
