The Company
The company Théâtre du Phare carries the artistic projects of Olivier Letellier, crossing the art of storytelling with different disciplines (theater, object theater, photography, video, sound creation, dance, circus...), for all audiences. Openness, sharing and awareness are the pillars of his artistic approach. The story is an extremely important foundation: it is about stories that survive and enrich social prisms, and thus promote meeting and exchange. Each of Olivier Letellier's projects seeks to highlight the heart of what the story tells, with simplicity and clarity, so that the "young" audiences in their experience as a spectator can receive the show and feed themselves in their own way.

Oh Boy! is the straightforward, deeply moving story of three siblings who drop out of the sky and into the lap of a totally unprepared young man. With tenderness and humor, this contemporary tale examines some of life’s most devastating events, including illness and the loss of a loved one, and challenges society’s definitions of normalcy and family.
