La Monnaie/ De Munt
La Monnaie For Everyone
Revise your classics
Karyatides is a young audiences theatre company, but our shows are also aimed at the general public.
We adapt the classics (Madame Bovary, Carmen, The Little Match Girl, Les Misérables, Le Pique-nique, Frankenstein) into object theatre, combining opera and objects.
Aims
Our aim is to represent archetypal characters on a tiny stage. Everyone knows the stories and everyone wants to hear them again.
We create a theatre of ‘figures’, combining puppetry, object theatre, shadow play, paper theatre, visual arts, music and opera singing. We play with these languages, each with its own specificities, moving from one to the other. Pulling the strings of all this, the actor, free to stand at the centre or disappear, is at the centre of our work.
A flagship project
Frankenstein, a co-production with La Monnaie (2019), combining lyrical song and object theatre.

Why we’re RESEO members
To defend cultural democracy by making our singular and hybrid work known to as wide an audience as possible, and in particular to young people, in order to encourage artistic awareness and discussion at all levels.
