Girls & Silk for everyBody
Les Bas-Bleus
Dijon / France
Performance Programme

This show revisits the tales of Snow White, The Little Mermaid and Donkey Skin and evokes with humor, derision and lightness the obsession with appearance that is instilled in little girls from since their young age. The drawings in the album “Les trois contes” have inspired the show and are transformed into silk figurines or object theater. The two performers using French and French sign language, are held by an enthusiastic musical composition. This production is an irreverent triptych accessible to all.

Following the performance of Filles & soie pour toutes & tous, director Séverine Coulon will invite you to a discussion on the universal accessibility and unconditional welcome approach the company has adopted for this show.
