Modularium - Open to the public ? Who's going to Baba Yaga's? Saturday, September 16, 4pm
Miette, a mischievous princess, has lost her taste for life. She sets off in search of her. From adventure to mischief, she arrives at the home of Baba Yaga, the terrible and hungry ogress. But what will she eat?
This is a philosophical tale that questions the meaning of life and the search for happiness. This show takes us on a musical journey to the sound of the accordion, but also through storytelling and animated images.
The quest for self and inner transformation are at the heart of this epic, at once terrifying and marvelous, where the magical rubs shoulders with the mysterious. It's a timeless tale of initiation for today's children and yesterday's grown-ups.
By Compagnie Passeurs de rêves With Aurélie Lecorps and Pauline Madeline
