Le silence des champignons

Shhh…

Be silent, close your eyes and listen carefully. Can’t you hear that little noise, that little sound, right there on the left? It comes closer and becomes…music! Now open your eyes…

We’re so busy (too busy?) that we rarely give our senses a moment’s rest. What if we took the time to look and listen?

Le Silence des champignons (“The silence of the mushrooms”) is an audio and visual plunge into a sensitive and original universe, populated by strange instruments and mysterious mushroom-like objects…

The aim of Le Silence des champignons is to open your eyes and ears, to pay attention to the smallest details, to capture your attention… quite simply to take the time to see and hear. The essential point is to help young children discover that the sound of a simple piece of wood, metal or skin can become music and create a sound space conducive to infinite imagination.

Thanks to the illustrations by illustrator Marie Mirgaine and the original set design set in motion by André Parisot’s ingenious mechanisms, the mushrooms come to life around a dancing, slightly ghostly puppetry.
