Event details

“…It’s a charmingly simple show that kept the little ones in the audience utterly spellbound with its poetry, freshness and inventiveness.”

- Michel Bélair, Le Devoir, April 2012

“Floats seamlessly mingles object theatre and puppetry with shadow play and musical theatre… shaping images and sounds into a little poem that sounds like a gentle lullaby.”

- Daphné Bathalon, Revue JEU, No. 144

“It’s so beautiful, so tender. There are also silences, and the serenity brought by silence, … A real bubble of contemplation and joy is built around the youngsters. It was wonderful to see the children.”

- Anne-Josée Cameron, Retour sur le monde, Première chaîne de Radio-Canada, May 2012

Children are invited inside an enchanted tent to experience this whimsical theatrical tale where a tall man’s daydreams of a seaside land filled with wonders are transformed into an immersive reality. Sand dunes, sea creatures, boats, and the endless sky are evoked through stunning visuals and original melodies.

To little kids and to grown-ups too. A show created at Méli’Môme Festival in Reims (France), March 2012.

To begin with, you follow a little pathway of shells and stones that goes around a big tent made of sheets. You can hear someone playing the harmonica. It seems that people may be already inside the tent. They want you to come and see, so you go in. You walk through the opening.

When you’re inside the tent it’s very pleasant. It’s warm, but there’s a tiny breeze. A little melody makes your heart beat more calmly. The light is gentle, like that of the setting sun.

Inside, a tall man is dreaming of the sea. He makes sand appear, then turtles, seagulls and fish, and then dune grass, the sky, boats and time that passes.

The man doesn’t know how to wait, so he plays at hiding in the depth of the water. He becomes a treasure that awaits. And waits. And waits for you.

Beside him, another tall man makes music and lets his voice float out over the ocean. To wait is to hope, and this happens often. It happens all the time.

About The Company
The Théâtre des Confettis, founded in Québec City in 1977, grew out of an artistic partnership cultivated by two actresses, Hélène Blanchard and Judith Savard, and a stage designer, Réal Sasseville.

To date, the company has created twenty-seven shows. Ten of them have been translated into English, two have been translated in Spanish and another one in Portuguese; three have been put on by other Canadian companies and seven have been published as texts. Fourteen of these productions, or the artists associated with them, have been honoured by various award programs either as finalists or as prize winners. Over the years, the Théâtre des Confettis has earned an enviable reputation.

The company is known for its audacious choices and its significant contribution to the development of the dramatic arts for children and young people.
