Theatre de la Jeune Lune

The company, in operation from 1978 to 2008, was known for its visually rich, highly physical style of theatre, derived from clown, mime, dance and opera.

They would also use a rather inventive style of mise en scene in shows, as well as comedic acting very similar to Charlie Chaplin, Marcel Marceau and Commedia dell’arte.

[5] Epp explained their approach for producing shows saying, "We dissect the body in its movement, power and playfulness, and glean from that ways to apply that physicality to whatever material we're working with, to galvanize the role and find what's pertinent to a contemporary audience.

Over the years, the company had also accumulated a debt load exceeding $1 million, even as it attempted restructuring and budget cuts in order to remain solvent.

[9] In June 2008, the Theatre de la Jeune Lune board of directors announced it would sell the theater building and "shut down the arts group as currently organized."

[2] Shortly after the closing, Dominique Serrand and Steven Epp began a collaboration with Nathan Keepers and Christina Baldwin, to open a new theatre in the area called "The Moving Company", where they continue to work as artistic directors.

The film shows the group performing fragments of Molière's plays on the street at the Centre Georges Pompidou and on an improvised stage in a market place.
