A Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes de Charleville Mézières and Festival international des arts de la marionnette à Saguenay coproduction, NOMAD SOUL toured in Québec and at international festivals.
Presented from 2017 to 2019, the show is no longer available for touring.
Masks, puppets and projections come to life at the heart of natural and illustrated landscapes. A woman meets her many inner selves at different ages in a world where scales and materials vary.
Inspired by shamanism, where the connection to nature and the quest for consciousness are the very essence of life, NOMAD SOUL’s dreamlike odyssey follows the paths of the totemic symbols that are the great wolf-guide and the raven-conscience that accompany this woman on her dizzying journey to the heart of the intimate Self.
NOMAD SOUL blends surrealism and visual poetry, inviting spectators to take a closer look into the depths of interiority.

The staged work being a matter of memory, it is necessary to devote time and energy to imagine very strong visual constructions to ensure that the images remain engraved. The spectator is always free to appreciate or not, and in any case, he will integrate everything into his memory and the “dialogue” with the work will be established.
– Ushio Amagatsu, Choreographer and Butoh Dancer
