Children's theatre has found a vibrant home at the Comédie de Rennes, captivating young audiences with creative and engaging performances. This winter season, families will have the opportunity to experience imaginative stories filled with whimsy and adventure.
One of the main attractions is the delightful tale of Léo, a curious little boy who dreams of being pirate Barbenoire, sailing the vast oceans and seeking adventure. Unfortunately, Léo's reality isn't quite as thrilling; he is just another city kid who has never seen the sea. Luckily for him, one day, he stumbles upon a captivating book titled "How to Become a Real Pirate." With this book, Léo embarks on an extraordinary maritime adventure, illustrating the magic of storytelling and imagination.
Another captivating offering at Comédie de Rennes is the invitation to the imaginative Grimm Academy. Children will be enchanted by the letter from none other than Hansel Grimm himself, declaring their admission to the academy where they can study witches, dragons, and other mystical creatures. It includes the whimsical note to parents about surprising charges for additional copies of the letter, showcasing the playful nature of the production. Such imaginative plays not only engage children but also invite them to explore the fantastical world of fairy tales.
For those seeking excitement, the performance titled "TokoToko & the Thief of Nursery Rhymes" presents the quirky character of Detective Tokotoko. Together with mini detectives, the audience is called upon to help recover stolen nursery rhymes, creating an interactive environment where kids can immerse themselves in the role of crime solvers. This musical tale is particularly suitable for children as young as one year old, promising to be both entertaining and accessible.
Also on the program is the interactive performance involving Gagon, the lovable raccoon. Directed by A Luna Théâtre, this show is crafted especially for the youngest audience members, from ages zero to six. It follows Gagon as he eagerly anticipates the arrival of snow during the winter season. Engaging music and stories surround the little raccoon, as his mother helps him learn about the importance of patience and the value of relationships over material gifts.
