Program

On the morning of his tenth birthday, Léo wakes up from a strange dream, only to realise… that he is no longer in his bedroom! Disoriented but curious, he ventures into this new world, the Pesant-Pays (Heavy Kingdom), where he meets a host of colourful characters.  But the ruler of Pesant-Pays is a wizard-king who believes that children should never, ever be anything other than… perfectly behaved and completely silent. Will Léo be able to find his way back to his bedroom, his parents, and his former life, so carefree and light-hearted? Written by Gaëtan de Camaret and set to music by Vincent Métrailler, this musical tale is brimming with contagious good mood and full of playfulness. The wind sextet and percussion, actress Marie-Emmanuelle Perruchoud and the large, comical puppets (brought to life by Sophie Vaudan and Geoffroy Perruchoud, who also provide their voices) will whisk the whole family away on this magical journey!
