Join a family storytelling evening that explores voices. Children and caregivers hear playful tales, songs, poems and nonsense led by Compagnie Alsand and mediator Anouck Hoyois. Move to rhythms, try whispering and echoing, and imagine the voices of the future. A temporary exhibition and a small library invite little hands to browse colorful images and books, while short vocal games sharpen listening, spark creativity and unlock silly, surprising sounds.
In French. Kids ages 0 and up.
Step into Arco’s glowing world, a vivid animated adventure blending science fiction and nature. Follow brave characters through strange machines, sweeping skies, and rustling forests as they explore what we’ll leave to the future. Bright colours, pulsing sounds, and gentle motion invite viewers to imagine and ask questions. After the screening, enjoy a warm snack and chat about the film’s ideas with family and friends.
In French. Kids ages 8 and up.
Step into Euphonia, an interactive sound installation inspired by Hector Berlioz’s tale Euphonia ou La Ville musicale. Here you don’t just listen: you blow, build, play, probe and invent together. Along the route you create your own instrument before exploring a vast participatory organ. Sounds circulate, answer each other and meet to form a collective composition. No musical training is required — a playful sonic adventure to share with family.
In French. Kids ages 4 and up.
Step into a warm, woven world of stories imagined by Barbara Sauser, creator of the tricot‑contes. Tales are spun with the strength of thread, the warmth of wool and the softness of silk. Children are invited to hear living stories that spark imagination, share thrills and laughter, and bring the magic of theatre closer. Through vivid voices and sensory storytelling, young audiences explore feelings, dreams and growing up.
In French. Kids ages 6 and up.
FURTHER AFIELD
Build, program, and invent in hands-on workshops designed for curious kids. Work in teams to explore mechanics behind cable systems, then switch to coding with LEGO SPIKE Prime, designing simple video games in Scratch, and shaping worlds in Minecraft. You’ll prototype, test, and see ideas come alive through movement, color, and sound. Short challenges spark logic, creativity, and teamwork while playful tasks make learning about machines and code feel like an adventure.
