Scopitone&Cie
KAMIKAZE ?
HISTORY
Since it was created in 2003 by Cédric Hingouët , ‘Scopitone and Company’ has been performing for all types of
audiences nationally and internationally throughout Europe. Using puppets, objects and human performers they have
entertained in streets, parks, squares, site-specific venues and theatres. However they are most renowned for making
small theatre spaces in customised caravans and adapting children’s fairy tales from old 45 RPM records, creating an
intimate atmospheric environment that can perform anywhere.
The first tale, “Little Red Riding Hood” was created in 2002 in Aurillac, and toured extensively throughout Europe. Due
to its success 5 others have taken to the roads, “Sleeping Beauty”, “The Little Match Girl”, “Blue Beard”, “Beauty and the
Beast” and most recently “Puss in Boots” and are collectively known as Ze Patrecathodics. The stories are originally in
French, but have been translated into English in 2009 allowing the caravans to cross many borders!
In 2005 the company produced its second show, “Kamikaze?” again using puppets and objects but this time designed
for an adult audience using very little text, and created to perform in theatre friendly spaces. It was written, performed
and directed by Cédric Hingouët and first performed at the Boufou Théâtre in Hennebont, Brittany. Since its inception it
has toured in France, Belgium and England (amongst other countries) in festivals such as “Festival Méliscènes” march
2006, “Festival International de Charleville” in September 2006 and “Festival les Plans d’Avril” in Paris in April 2008 to
name but a few.
Between 2007 and 2009 2 new projects were written but this time for a younger public; “Billy The Kid” and Formule 1”.
Both with no text but highly visual using puppets, objects, humans and live or recorded sound. Formule 1 also ran workshops at the beginning of rehearsals in order to involve the local schools in its creation.
An UFO project is “MOB”, a family street show for an audience of 6 to 600 people, again using no text but with a strong
musical score, a caravan and Mobylettes! (French mopeds). It first toured in Normandy in October 2009 at the festival
“Tam-Tam”and was created at ‘Les Ateliers du Vent’ in Rennes.
The most recent project is Juliette + Romeo = AESD, a show for 2 puppeteers performers, indoor and for a family
audience. It will be created in october 2013.
Since 2005 the company has received funding from Conseil Regional de Bretagne, Conseil General de Morbihan and
DRAC.
Object and puppet theatre for 100 hostages (for adults only)

PRESENTATION TEXT
Providing some thought on the violence we are bombarded with
everyday in the news.
Through a fragile character, recruited in a crumbling and destructive
environment, ‘Kamikaze?’ questions the meaning of a term so often used,
the value of life, the manipulation of minds and the weight of radical
commitment.
Dedicated to Sacha and all those who came amongst us.
