A forest that charms the little faces. La Tribune

At Nightfall

Auguste is a shoemaker who knows nothing of holidays and little about life outside his work. Far from his workshop he is afraid. Auguste discovers the water forest... A tiny people occupy this territory where shade and light intermingle. Crazy, tender, tipsy or delicate, their nocturnal dances include rituals in which the creatures turn, jump and frolic in total abandon. The elusive beauty, the casualness, the antic character of the tiny people exercise an undeniable charm on passersby who venture into their world. Join Auguste on his journey through this joyful and touching dance creation.

Auguste découvre la forêt d'eau... Un petit peuple occupe ce territoire où l'ombre et la lumière s'entremêlent. Folles, tendres, bancales ou délicates, leurs danses nocturnes comportent des rituels où les créatures tournent, sautent, s'ébattent dans un total abandon. La beauté insaisissable, la désinvolture, le caractère fantasque de ce petit peuple exercent un charme incontestable sur les passants qui s'aventurent dans leur univers.
