Les Dinos et l’Arche – A Darwinian Opera, a Dystopian Fable

Kids Performances

La Cité Bleue

World premiere in French at La Cité Bleue
Music: Thomas Leininger | Libretto: Cédric Costantino & Tina Hartmann

What if the dinosaurs missed Noah’s Ark—not because of a meteorite, but because a sundial was thrown off by the clouds? In this whimsical yet thought-provoking opera, Charles Darwin and his beloved Galápagos iguana travel through time to give dinosaurs a second chance. Boarding a fantastical ship, the creatures set off in search of a magical plant that might transform them into birds and save them from the Flood.

Part satire, part tender fable, Les Dinos et l’Arche brings together humans, animals, and extinct species in a distorted mirror of our own changing society. Through absurd dialogues, wild transformations, and a swirl of humor and emotion, the opera reminds us that survival often demands reinvention.

Directed by Julien Condemine, with musical direction by Leonardo García-Alarcón, and performed by a vibrant cast and a ten-piece ensemble, this visually daring and musically rich production draws on baroque influences to speak to curious minds of all ages.

Kids ages 10 and up.

Beware of earthquakes!

Kids

Musée d'histoire des sciences

Geologists from Animuse bring field and instrumental expertise in tectonics and seismic monitoring, sharing decades of collective research into Earth’s internal structure.

The lecture examines how tectonic motions produce earthquakes, how seismic waves travel through the crust and deep interior, and how historical and modern instruments have revealed the planet’s inner layers and dynamic processes. It highlights how seismic records inform models of continental drift and mantle structure, and discusses the historical development of seismometry.

In French. Ages 6 and up.
