Un Autre Monde

All audiences, 4 years +

A Grand Lady invites us to join the game of creation… Is she a magician, a goddess, or both? From darkness and emptiness, she conjures up a colourful world inhabited by creatures that must learn to live together: a fragrant rose bush and a stinky skunk; a solitary bear and a lovelorn squirrel; birds and fish that argue over the blueness of the sky and the sea… Likeable creatures trying to find their place in the sun.

Intended for very young children, Un Autre Monde addresses the universal theme of tolerance. A poetic fable that invites you to reflect upon and accept differences…

Un Autre Monde is a true gem of Québec’s repertoire. The show received the AQCT (Association québécoise des critiques de théâtre) Best Production for a Young Audience Award in 1990.
