Ahuri Theatre was forged from the initiative of its six
founding members : all graduates in 2005 of l’Ecole Internationale de
Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. They decided, in the summer of 2005, to construct
the foundation of a theatre company whose work brews and mixes different languages,
theatrical forms and cultures. Six cultures and 3 continents are represented
by its members from Ontario all the way to Japan. The adventure began in October
2005 when members embarked for 8 weeks to the land of the Rising Sun to attend
workshops and to experience the culture and traditions of Japan. Encouraged
by this experience, the members of the company have continued their presence
in Japan and in Canada by giving performances and workshops.
Using numerous styles, Ahuri theatre explores the encounter
and the mixing of different theatrical forms and trainings. Both in the world
and in their bodies, Ahuri theatre is a company in constant
movement.
