Little big leaf
Ariane Voineau & Josué Beaucage
Little big leaf is a poetic show for very young audiences, carried by dance and music.
Seated on furs, sheltered under tents built for them, the little spectators of "little big leaf" discover an intriguing forest where little things take a big step. Very tender, subtle, this story told by movement and music awakens the senses. Carried by the enveloping movements of Ariane Voineau, the warm and reassuring voice of Josué Beaucage, the sensitive staging of Olivier Normand, this poetic and evocative show tackles an essential question for very young audiences: am i tall or short?
