An interactive dance performance for children based on the musical suite of the same name by French composer Camille Saint-Saens, this multimedia production combines movement and dance with video projections, original music and sound, while also playing with light and shade, silence and stillness. The artists were inspired by the diversity of the animal kingdom: they journeyed underground and into the clouds, dove underwater and got lost in the tall grass. Thanks to the audience of children that is present on stage from beginning to end, new creatures are discovered with each performance. Join us and plunge into the world of animal imagination. The performance has an accompanying visual and sound workshop, which includes activities designed to reflect on the performance.
