One Thing After Another

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Join a playful builder who improvises a strange home in a garden. With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.

In French. Ages 6 and up.
