Two pianists, an illusionist, and a storyteller bring to life characters straight out of childhood tales in a mysterious atmosphere of dreams and magic, perfect for listening.
In this musical and shadow play performance, this ancestral art of creating projected shadows with hands brings to life characters like Sleeping Beauty, Little Thumb, wolves, cats, and many other figures from fairy tales, all while eluding our gaze in the absent presence of light and shadow play!
The voice of Maureen Dor, the interpreter of the imaginative and whimsical tale by Sybille Wilson, guides both young and old into the poetic universe shaped by the magical hands of Philippe Beau, enhanced by the music. Pages by Prokofiev, Ravel, and Tchaikovsky, inspired by popular tales, are performed by two pianists, Muhiddin Dürrüoglu and Eliane Reyes.
A show to marvel at, discover, and keep the art of shadow puppetry alive!
Ages 5 and up.

La Seine Musicale
La Seine Musicale is a music and performing arts center located on Île Seguin an island on the Seine river between Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres, in the western suburbs of Paris, France.
Adress: La Seine Musicale, Île Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France
Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
