Begin at the edge of a pond where reeds whisper and a willow brushes the water. Pouik the duck and Piou the little bird meet and set off together to discover the world. Paper puppets come to life to the sound of delicate music, revealing poppies, ladybirds and a sparkling stream. The performance invites very young children to touch, listen and explore through gentle movement and quiet wonder.
