Time flies – Paperplane is a theatrical, musical, and circus journey, a modern fable about the circle of life. Exploring theater, circus, dance, music, and light, the team forms a family of eight multidisciplinary artists who tell us the story of a lifetime's journey.

media coverage

-The Echoes-

Outsmart Time, Duty

"If the story is carried out with rigor by the actors, that the very energetic staging - punctuated by music, dance recalling the different countries visited - is just as attractive to the eye as to the ear, the interaction with the public adds to the success of the performance."

"Around the World in 80 Days, by Jules Verne, written nearly 150 years ago, has never seemed so bursting with energy and youth as in this production from the Théâtre Advienne que Peut."

– Daphné Bathalon

A journey to the four corners of the world

"The play, which has several locations, taking its audience from London to New York, via Bombay and Hong Kong, brings additional challenges to the director, who must demonstrate a great deal of ingenuity in order to respect this text, which includes a multitude of incredible adventures and several dozen characters."

– Louise Bourbonnais
