Why is it so disturbing to watch an actor cross the stage as if he were walking around his own apartment? Why are we fascinated when we see a dog onstage? Why are we troubled when we see actors talking to one another, but for some reason, the sound has been turned down too low? Why does the reconstruction of a miniature forest on stage give us the chills? Why is the presence of a car on stage perceived as a violation of that space?
 



All of these dramatic effects put together and laid out by Philippe Quesne in the works of the Vivarium Studio – created in 2003 – ably define his stagecraft, which, by the use of a kind of mechanical research, can be described as a technical theatre lab that cleverly modifies the conventions of the genre and generates an ambiguously shaped universe. (Aude Lavigne)
