L'immédiat
Theatre Troupe

Based in France, L'immédiat and its founder Camille Boitel, is a theatre troupe that creates highly technical, multidisciplinary performances that blend circus, dance, theatre, and cinema, often featuring intricate sets and elaborate machinery. Their work is known for exploring themes of reality, perception, and the absurd through a unique, often tragicomic lens, resulting in sophisticated shows that are not intended for children, though they can be enjoyed by families.
L'immédiat never begins, never ends; it is everywhere at once, always out of step, polymorphic and instantaneous, elusive and monstrous. 'The immediate' is the name (almost immediately erased) of our troupe, and of our artistic adventure. The imm… mm… always said too late to truly say it, as if always doomed from the start. We equipped ourselves for a shipwreck, we worked to fail, slowly, meticulously, conscious (sometimes suddenly) of playing at the impossible. The figures in these various shattered pieces—a calamitous cabaret, a gambling machine, an inconsolable spectacle, a lecture on jubilation…—are all at once tragic and cruelly comic, abandoned to a vertiginous world of accidents, abruptness, and failures. Here we attempt to paint a tender portrait of our shattered lives, our ruined humanity, our incurable fragility.
The company creates works of all kinds, primarily works of living art, unfolding in real time with real elements and real elements with fake ones. But it has also recently ventured into film, art installations, and all sorts of works that break free from conventional formats. Mixing everything together, weaving, welding, writing everything, teeming, overflowing, failing, unable to stop itself. 
They have been featured at festivals around the globe and are celebrated for their daring and innovative approach to 'immediate' performance.
