Tweet tweet

A contemporary circus show performed in pairs, Tweet Tweet is intended for toddlers aged 0 to 3 and the adults who accompany them. True to circus tradition, the show is performed in a circular space, a magical tree which includes two nests with two wooden swings suspended from its branches.

From the nests, the performers use ropes attached to the trunk to move and twirl up into the tree canopy, then land on the ground.

To their liking, the public sits or lies down on the large forest floor placed under the branches of the tree. An enchanting spectacle that is sure to delight young and old alike!

For 2 years old and up.

À table

Three diplomats meet around a table representing their own gourmet tower of Babel with the aim of agreeing on a common infrastructure project.

But how can we understand each other when we don’t speak the same language? Throughout the meal, the diplomats use everything they can get their hands on to get out of impasses… and ultimately have fun like kids! The table then becomes their playground, transforming into an unexpected and unusual sculpture.

By featuring serious characters who delve into playfulness, this show allows us to have fun as well as to think about our way of living together. It’s the perfect opportunity to play problem solving while celebrating the emergence of imagination!

Le roi poubelle

Élise, a documentary filmmaker, is shipwrecked on a strange island made entirely of waste. The island is located on the other side of the world, in the middle of the North Pacific. In addition to being the only survivor of the shipwreck, Élise is weakened by the recent death of her mother. So she is looking for help when she comes across the strange Trash King.

The sole inhabitant and self-proclaimed sovereign of the plastic island, he gives a second life to the waste that washes up on the beach. Unaccustomed to contact with humans, he first sees Élise as a reject to be transformed in the same way as the others. Then, after a difficult first meeting, they discover common passions.

Despite the affection she has for King Poubelle, Élise refuses his offer to rule the island with him. She dreams of returning to the world she comes from, a world that King Trash despises, because he throws so many things precious in his eyes into the sea.

The Garbage King explores loneliness, mourning, hope and the feeling of having to face the consequences of actions committed remotely by unconscious people.

La fuite de l’hippocampe

Since the dawn of time, humans have been fascinated by the phenomenon of dreams.

As part of this immersive theatrical installation for children, two dreamers-researchers want to learn more about paradoxical sleep — this precise moment when dreams occur.

The public is invited to wander freely in this laboratory of dreams which engages all of the spectator’s senses: soundscapes, dreamlike images, luminous textures, miniature worlds and surprising encounters are there.

Thanks to the improbable fusion of several techniques of visual art, mechanical art, media arts, shadow theater and puppets, this experience will stimulate the imagination of dreaming spectators.

For ages 4 and up.

A raw and poetic dive into the world of Senegalese street children.

Exploited by a deceitful school system, young Souleymane finds himself on the street, forced to beg and bring his loot to the Séringnes daara: the “Koranic masters” who are supposed to offer him an education.

LITTLE PIECE OF WOOD is a puppet show about the daily life of street children in Senegal. A story about the courage of these resourceful children who do not give up their dreams despite the difficulties of life, and who reinvent every day a new way to survive as children in a world of grown-ups.

For 8 to 12 year olds.

Le Trésor

One rainy day, two children — a brother, a sister, and their cat Piano — are stuck inside, their noses stuck to the windows. Boredom quickly gives way to creativity, which magically unfolds before the eyes of the audience. The trio’s creations offer a lucid, poetic, and touching vision of childhood.

Choreographer Pierre-Paul Savoie has drawn on the repertoire of Quebecois song to create THE TREASURE, a dance performance for children that oscillates between passion and poetry, between gentleness and candour. THE TREASURE takes a luminous look at childhood and at the joy, freedom, and spontaneity of play.
