Jury Statement

Speaking to toddlers as well as older children, captivating them while calming them, and leading them to explore the mineral world—which we too often forget is also part of the surrounding natural environment—this is the vital project behind Inuksuk. By gently, humorously, and joyfully sensitizing us to every aspect of these seemingly silent pebbles and stones—their smoothness or roughness, their sound, color, smell, and even taste—Compagnie Zaïf invites the audience to discover, or rediscover, the full beauty of the stones' secret language.
