■ REVUES
Leur principale motivation c'est d'offrir au public du vrai spectacle. Armés de leurs seuls
costumes et accessoires, ils construisent leurs décors au besoin des différentes scènes qui
s'enchaînent pendant une petite heure. Une surprise nippone rafraîchissante destinée à
tout public, quel que soit sa langue ou son âge.
- La Provence
Quatre personnages charmants envahissent la scène, mimant, dansant, jouant la comédie,
mais ce qui transcende tout cela, c'est la poésie qui les enveloppe, qui nous enveloppe,
nous faisant entrer avec douceur dans un monde imaginaire, peuplé d'objets quotidiens qui
prennent un air enchanteur, et dans une notion d'espace intemporel rempli de grace.

Quel trip ! On sent dès l'entrée au théâtre de l'Etincelle que ce "Break'O" n'aura pas grand
chose à voir avec ce qu'on peut voir habituellement au théâtre. Est-ce de la danse ? De la
performance ? Du mime ? Des sketches ? On ne sait pas trop et à vrai dire on s'en moque
un peu tant l'enthousiasme des cinq interprètes est communicatif.
-AVIGnews.com
L’ensemble est toujours empreint de beaucoup d’humour et de légèreté. Le talent de la
troupe tient en son inventivité. Cela rappelle la concaténation – vous savez, la chanson
Chapeau de paille . Toute image première est transformée pour dériver sur une nouvelle,
inattendue, poétique et juste. On l’aura compris, le spectacle est fort sympathique. Il y a un
côté juvénile et jovial. De la gaieté, tout simplement.
