Description
"Tales 1,2,3,4
Once upon a time...
A zany, strange world, both funny and disturbing.
Once upon a time...
Tales without princesses or fairies, where a father tells stories to his little girl.
Or rather, once upon a time, there were two characters living in a wardrobe
who come to tell 4 stories, in which a father tells stories
to his little daughter Josette...
He takes her on a journey (without ever leaving the flat, and all the way to the sun!)
into marvellous or worrying worlds:
One day, he sends Josette to look for him where he is not;
Another day, he changes the names of objects;
Yet another day, everyone is called
Jacqueline...
Theatre & Storytelling
Language as a game box, a construction box, a creator of worlds
For all audiences and school groups for children from CP to 6ème
In a flat, a father tells stories to his little daughter Josette.
He takes her on a journey (sometimes as far as the sun!) to wonderful but worrying worlds: one day, he's not where he sent his daughter to find him; another day, the words change purpose; yet another day, it might be time to visit the Jacquelines?
Stories in the form of Russian dolls.
Characters: Storyteller 1, Storyteller 2, The father, Josette, Jacqueline, The mother.
- That's what Josette told you.
- No, Jacqueline says to Dad, she says the opposite.
- No, it's you.
- No, it's you.
- You're both saying the same thing," said Josette.
