Children’s White Night

Explore the magic of shadows in a playful theatre workshop where children learn to tame the night through storytelling and light.

The session encourages creativity, teamwork and sensory discovery as kids shape characters, sounds and atmosphere using simple materials and gestures, and see their ideas come to life on a screen.

The show mixes gentle comedy, sensory discovery and imaginative storytelling so kids can listen for rustling leaves, notice small movements and let their curiosity become a lively adventure.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
