Imagine a fishing line that bites back: a child catches a golden carp that grants wishes. At first small and kind — a new house, a motorbike, maybe a plane — the wishes grow hungrier and the price becomes clear. This lyrical show blends storytelling, live music and painting on a mirrored tableau, where watercolours and inks move with the words and sounds to spark imagination and raise questions about our desires and fragile aquatic worlds.
In French. Kids ages 4 and up.

Set sail from a simple table and a tin of sardines into a gentle underwater adventure. The table becomes a boat, waves and lyrical singing carry the journey into a wondrous marine world. Through portholes, dreamlike creatures glide by and clever metamorphoses make objects come alive. This musical, visually playful performance invites young children to explore sound, movement and imagination until a surprising, miraculous catch.
