Jean-Eudes and Marie-Paule, special agents from the Ministry of Stories, are on a mission. At the Special Office for Nursery Rhymes, letters of complaint are piling up, letters of protest are pouring in, and testimonies are pouring in from all over the world: nursery rhymes are not working, they're not working any more, people have had enough.
It's time to act! The Cuckoo and the Owl are fed up with saying hello to each other in the distant forest, friend Pierrot needs a good night's sleep, and the Hen has a right to a horizon other than a wall and hard bread!
Fortunately, Jean-Eudes and Marie-Paule are there. Their mission: to invent new words for these nursery rhymes based on well-known melodies.
Their method is simple and effective: to celebrate language, to honour it, to pay tribute to it by making it say anything and everything.
Their tools: a catalogue of colourful characters, a slightly mad threading of words and sounds, rhymes like brilliant cymbal blasts, the joy of a lively rhythm that carries you away, but you don't quite know how far.
Young audience 5 years and up, by reservation only.
