Les Quiquoi

Pétole is bored… and dreams of having a pet. When Pamela “borrows” Olive’s pencil, she draws an unlikely dog—as ugly as he is endearing! From this funny mistake springs a humorous adventure that celebrates difference and reminds us that it’s always possible to make things right.

Adapted from Les Quiquoi et le chien moche dont personne ne veut, the show blends high-energy animated images, a cappella melodies, and object theater. Combining paper theater and rod puppetry, the characters come to life in a cartoonish world. Wearing mischievous headgear, two playful performers take turns embodying the entire gang in two mini-puppet theaters. A zany and joyful adventure to share with the whole family.
