No musical training is required — a playful sonic adventure to share with family.

Follow Mam’zelle as she searches for her missing cat in a playful puppet tale. She never leaves without a hat, so in front of her mirror she models and muffled giggles while pulling hat after hat from colorful boxes.

The last box brings a surprise that wraps the story in warmth and laughter, inviting children to imagine and smile.

Kids ages 1 and up.

The activity encourages careful observation, creativity, and a love of the outdoors through sensory play with colors, rustling sounds, and soft, papery leaves.

Kids ages from 6 to 13.

Watch six bodies lift, carry and fly in a circus built on trust. Without any apparatus, acrobats stack, swing and tumble together in close, rhythmic phrases. Bright movement, shared breaths and sudden laughter make the show feel alive. Children will be invited to notice balance, help with gestures and cheer, discovering teamwork, courage and how bodies answer one another. Sensory moments—soft music, warm light, quick flips—spark imagination and playful bravery.
