Booking Required

Step into a gentle, bucolic world centered on a single majestic tree that becomes both set and first character. Two strangers wander beneath its branches without ever meeting, while playful puppet animals pop out to spark curiosity and wonder. The tender, poetic performance invites quiet contemplation and gentle interaction, offering adults a fresh perspective. After the show, the set becomes a 25-minute discovery space for little ones to explore and share stories.

In French. Kids ages 9 months to 3 years.

Weave Our Collective Nest

Kids

Villa Bernasconi

Gather materials and weave in a shared workshop led by the artist Marie Jambers. Like birds building nests, children will move between inside and outside, collect grasses, wool, paper scraps and carded wool, and learn basic weaving techniques. They will experiment with different formats, prepare fibres, and shape small woven pieces together. Soft textures, bright threads and rhythmic movements invite creativity, observation and playful collaboration as the group builds a collective story through making.

In French. Kids ages 7–12.
