ΤΙΝΤΙΝ ΤΗΕΑΤRΕ

 

«The child will be gripped by the excitement of Tintin, the comedy, even farce.

The adult will additionally find political satire and parody, puns and prescience.»

 

 

 

 

 

Scene no 75: Bianca Castafiore (Hard plastic figurine) sings in the center of the stage, while well-known supporting actors of the troupe dance around her: Rascar Capac, Alcazar, Fakir, Foudre Benie and professor Philippulus (Figurines Tintin Collection). Tintin himself and Captain Haddock are watching the performance from their private balcony (Tintin Theatre and Finger Puppets).

(All pieces are HERGE/MOULINSART editions).

RETURN TO LAUNCHING RAMP

 

«No one gets out of childhood alive.

Like the gravitic pull of the moon on the tides of Earth, we never escape what was done to us, what we did, what we learned, what we didn’t learn, where we went, and what we ate when we were children.»

 

 

 

 

Scene no 74: Space rockets (Battery operated, KY Yoshino toys Apollo 15 and TN Nomura toys Solar X7) ready to intercept flying saucers in our solar system (Saucers Club, wooden bagatelle pinball with striking space graphics).
