A show under the stars

Partners Ariane and Josué have draped the theatre in colourful tents and cozy furs to welcome us to the hushed atmosphere of a night by the fireside. Under the huge leaf, through dance and music, we are both tiny and gigantic!

How would you like to see a show in a tent? Say NO to mosquitoes and bad weather, and YES to a lovely and wonderful moment with your family. Here’s the campfire: that’s Ariane, a mesmerizing dancer who spins and twirls and plays with unusual objects and light. She invites us to wonder: in nature, are we small or big? And there’s the music of the forest: that’s Josué with his gentle voice and his guitalele. Really, there’s nothing missing from this theatrical camping adventure! Except maybe ... yes, a shining star. That’s you!
