Un rien coloré
Hosted by the Berceau d’Arthur at Charleville-Mézières.

What if for the next few minutes we had nothing to look forward to, nowhere to go, no end in sight?
What if we no longer wanted to go beyond the hands of the clock, but left the door open to a Nothing, a very small Nothing even… What imaginations and emotions might then emerge? Between the play of light and shadow, poetry and magic come to life. At the crossroads of the visual arts and live performance, the writing of this show was inspired by research and exploration carried out with toddlers and adults in early childhood centres.

Zébro
Hosted by the Berceau d’Arthur at Charleville-Mézières

Zébro is inspired by the company’s latest creation, Zèbres. It has been designed specifically to be performed in early childhood centres, media libraries, PMI, RAMs, and so on. In an intimate and enveloping scenic setting, a dancer will offer very young spectators a solo influenced by hip hop and contemporary dance.
