It's better to pay a little attention to what we eat anyway, you never know...". This show aims to address the behaviour of our young spectators when faced with the unavoidable problem of food through the thoughts and refrains of a chef. A vast subject and complex problem that will probably not be resolved with just a play and a few songs, but with "Bouille et Tambouille", children will be led to question, in a good mood, their eating habits and will be encouraged to explore with curiosity the rich and varied world of food by taming this particular sense that is taste.
Friday, February 28, 2025 from 15:00 p.m.: Puppet theater "Until the end of the world" for an audience from 3 years old. Gustave is a pianist.
