La Minuscule

Children’s show, 3 to 6 years

Minuscule is a tiny tot. Surrounded by crafts, paper cut-outs, crunchy sounds, shadows, lights, objects and materials, she lives in a larger-than-life world, a reflection of the inner musings of an islander. From season to season and from one improbable encounter to the next, she tends her lighthouse and makes sure the light still shines.

With delicate sounds of marimba music in the background, Dominique Leroux brings poetic worlds to life right before our eyes as Minuscule evolves, explores the world around her and knits her courage.
