“Cornebidouille” is a puppet show for children, inspired by Pierre Bertrand’s books. The story follows Pierre, a little boy who refuses to eat his soup, until the witch Cornebidouille pays him a visit. Created by Nathalie Wiget and Erika von Rosen, with input from the author, the performance blends puppetry with songs. Supported by a variety of institutions and sponsors, this is the company’s first production for young audiences, and it has been touring since 2017.
In French. Ages 4 and up.
With Océan, the French company Succursale 101 invites young children on a gentle, dreamlike dive into the deep sea. Mixing colorful shadow theatre, puppetry, and video, the 30-minute show follows a child chasing a beloved seashell into a magical underwater world, where corals, fish, and mysterious abysses come alive in a floating, poetic ballet of light and sound.
Ages 2 and up.
Pierre is a little boy who never wants to eat his soup. Fed up with his behavior, his parents warn him that the witch Cornebidouille visits children at night who refuse their soup! Pierre doesn’t believe in witches—but one night… things take a turn.
Cornebidouille is also the creation of author Pierre Bertrand, who joined the team in 2016 to help adapt the story and write songs. His books, published by L’École des Loisirs, are well-known among young readers.
