Zoé (child)
Zoé is an average little girl. She is bored yet curious, and she longs for the fun and excitement she believes lie just beyond her reach.
Father
Lost behind his newspaper, ensconced in his den, Father will eventually open his eyes to find himself among his family and loved ones once again.
Mother
Feeling alienated, Mother will soon rediscover the intense feeling of being alive through pain and courage, play and love.
John
With his tragically spare hairdo, John is a different kind of ringmaster. He is eerie yet charming: part television personality and part substitute teacher with his own renegade lesson plan, a circumnavigator on a mysterious journey.
The Target
Grace in motion, the Target chooses to live in empty space, present and absent at the same time, a companion to the lost girl for a little while.
Boum Boum
Boum-Boum is aggressive and physically fit. And yet, he is lifeless, as though his body lives on only because his soul refuses to leave it.
The Clown
The Clown brings a contemporary vision of clowning. With subversive, crazy audience participation numbers, he tells his own story, bringing to Quidam the joyful, burlesque, and liberated language of clown. This colorful, brash, and crazy world reminds us that the circus is forever a universal spectacle.
The Aviator
The Aviator has skeletal wings, but doesn't look quite ready to take off. Perhaps he doesn't know he has wings. Perhaps he knows, but can't fly. Perhaps, like Icarus, he has tried and failed. Or perhaps he simply wants to escape this world and its problems.
