Playhouse Member presale starts on Wednesday, September 18 at 10am. Click here to receive a ticket reminder.  This performance will be in English. Welcome to the Returns Department, where family friendly slapstick comedy meets world class puppetry. The Kif-Kif sisters inspect an ever-revolving conveyor belt of broken goods and try their best not to play with the goods. What could go wrong?! The Returns Department combines physical theatre, circus, robotics and puppetry. With humor inspired by Chaplin and comic strips, the show takes a playful look behind the scenes of a production line. Through defective products, the characters find a space of freedom to express their creativity, invent, and evolve. The Returns Department features the Kif-Kif Sisters, identical twins from Montreal who have been creating shows for the public since 2007. Their humor is both tender and intelligent, accessible to children and adults alike. Their creative approach is based on play, the unusual, and the repurposing of everyday objects. A word from Kif-Kif: “Children's creative space is reduced when their toys have only one function. Likewise for adults, our objects usually have a single function. We are, in a way, creators that the industry turns into consumers. At the Returns Department, we are reclaiming a world where everything has been preconceived for us. We juggle with toys, we tear paper with a helicopter, we draw on a conveyor belt. The show presents an atmosphere of vibrant, lively play, a way of approaching life through play and laughter. We encourage spectators of all ages to keep in mind that the human precedes the object, that we can play with objects as we please.” Recommended age range: 4-11 years old. Please note that tickets to all Kidstage Series shows are General Admission.   “Pay What You Will” is offered on select performances. Here’s how it works: – You still need a ticket. Book your seats in advance at tickets.theplayhouse.ca, by calling our box office at 458-8344, or visiting us at 686 Queen Street. – At the performance, we will provide an envelope and ask audience members to pay whatever amount they wish (based on their own individual experience) following the performance. You decide the price of your tickets! The objective of “Pay What You Will” is to increase access to our programs, and to encourage our patrons to take a chance on new and exciting performances. Max 8 tickets.

Les billets seront mis en vente le vendredi 20 septembre à 10 h. La prévente pour les membres du Playhouse commence le mercredi 18 septembre à 10 h. Veuillez cliquer ici pour recevoir une Alerte spectacle.  Ce spectacle se déroulera en Anglais. Bienvenus au département des retours, là où l’humour tarte à la crème adapté aux familles rencontre le théâtre de marionnettes de calibre mondiale.  Les sœurs Kif Kif inspectent de la marchandise brisée qui circule sans arrêt sur la courroie d’un convoyeur et font de leur mieux pour résister à la tentation de jouer avec celle-ci. Qu’est-ce qui pourrait mal tourner? Département des retours allie théâtre physique, cirque, robotique et marionnettes. Avec un humour à la Chaplin et des sketchs comiques, le spectacle est un regard ludique sur les coulisses de la production d’objets. À travers les produits non conformes, les personnages trouvent un espace de liberté pour créer et évoluer. Le Département des retours met en vedette les sœurs kif-kif, deux sœurs jumelles originaires de Montréal qui créent des spectacles depuis 2007. Leur humour à la fois tendre et intelligent est accessible aux enfants comme aux adultes. Leur démarche de création est basée sur le jeu, l’insolite et le détournement d’objets de la vie quotidienne. Un mot de kif-kif : « L’espace de créativité des enfants est réduit lorsque leurs jouets n’ont qu’une seule fonction. Pareillement pour les adultes, nos objets ont généralement une fonction unique. Nous sommes d’un certain point de vue des créateurs que l’industrie transforme en consommateurs. Dans l’usine idéale des sœurs kif-kif, l’inverse se produit. Nous jouons de la musique avec des jouets, nous bataillons avec une raquette de badminton molle et nous dressons des petits chiens mécaniques. Le spectacle propose une autre façon d’approcher la vie, par le jeu, le rire. Nous encourageons les spectateurs de tous les âges à se rappeler que l’humain précède l’objet, qu’il peut en faire ce qu’il veut. » Adapté aux enfant de 4 à 11 ans. Veuillez noter que les billets pour les spectacles de la Série jeunesse sont de « l'admission général ».   La formule « Vous décidez du prix » est offerte pour des spectacles sélectionnés. Voici comment ça marche : – Vous aurez quand même besoin d’un billet. Réservez votre siège à l’avance à tickets.theplayhouse.ca, en appelant notre billetterie au 458-8344,  ou en vous présentant au 686, rue Queen. – Une fois au spectacle, vous recevrez une enveloppe et on vous demandera de payer ce que vous souhaitez (selon votre appréciation personnelle) après le spectacle. Vous décidez du prix de vos billets! L’objectif de la formule « Vous décidez du prix » c’est d’accroître l’accès à nos programmes, et d’encourager notre public à assister à de nouveaux spectacles passionnants. Maximum 8 billets.
