Rediscover Sergei Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale in a delicate staging created and performed by Fanny Pelichet. The actress and visual artist designs cardboard puppets that she manipulates in full view of the audience, turning the score and narrative into a giant animated musical book. Inspired by Russian imagery, the piece brings Peter, the bird, the duck, the cat, the grandfather, the wolf and the hunters to life through intimate, tactile visuals and playful, theatrical motion.

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

A shared meal by Tito (Peru) accompanies the evening, adding a communal dimension to the sonic journey.
The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum.

In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.
