Les Oyates
Who said philosophy was for grown-ups? The company Les Oyates draws on musical storytelling, puppetry, and a theatre of objects to give young children a poetic first glimpse of this discipline. On a snowy night, a little girl finds herself alone, troubled by a thousand questions. From questions to answers, the child gradually learns to think and grow. Seated as close as possible to the stage, around a sheltering tree, the young spectators discover that which binds us to our own personal stories.
