Thanks to the Pépite plan for creation residencies for very young audiences (0-5 years), ACTA is hosting 10 companies from the Paris region and beyond.
Maxime Echardour
Music – from 2 to 6 years old
Offering a real concert for very young children, immersing them in the world of sound, with instruments, objects, discoveries and mutual attention – that’s Maxime Echardour’s Tourneur de son project, which will make a bike tour from Villiers-le-Bel to Marseille.
Compagnie du Porte-Voix
Music, dance – ages 2 and up
In the form of a musical and dance duet, Nanoulak, l’ours qui danse is about the ability to adapt, transform and learn, a symbol of the world to come, and the creativity needed to face tomorrow’s world.
Compagnie Le Fil de la Plume
Storytelling – 0 to 3 years and 3 to 5 years
The company is back in residence with Grands les yeux. In this show, two storytellers and a sound engineer will invite the audience to lie down in space to watch the show, which will take place above them, for an ecological tale.
Un Confetti sur la Branche
Puppetry, music, visual arts – from 3 to 6 years old
This show questions the construction of female identity through an exploration of shifting landscapes and different environments. Fetura is a puppet that evolves and grows with her inner journey and her explorations, metamorphosing as she comes into contact with the natural world she encounters.
4ème Souffle
Music and clowning – 18 months to 3 years
Tout comme moi is both funny and poetic : a clumsy clown and a sparkling acrobat meet to the sound of the cello. There are no words here, just bodies discovering, observing and imitating each other. Both take the time to tame each other before inviting the children to join them. Tout comme moi is an ode to listening and sharing for very young audiences.
Cie Corps Éveillés
Dance – 0 to 3 years
Echoing the early-learning mats used by the very young, Tapis provides a playground for the two dancers, who have fun with it, observing, imitating, repeating and inventing. The carpet is transformed and each dancer tries to find his or her place, reflecting on our ability to live together, to distance ourselves and to find each other again in the emotional ties that bind us.
Compagnie Passaros
Dance and music – 6 months to 5 years
Respir is a journey through the breath, from the first breath to the last, from the breath of our cells to that of the cosmos. Body and sound take us on a journey of movement, between opening and closing, condensation and expansion, in a scenography full of sensations.
Collectif Page 55
Danse – de 2 à 6 ans
Julian dreams of being a little more than a boy: he wants to become a mermaid! A joyful ode to the freedom to be oneself, it explores the construction of identity through the desire to dress up. Et si tu brillais… is a celebration of children’s desire to do things differently from society’s narrow models, and the inner joy of that transformation.
Cie Soleil sous la pluie
Dance, object manipulation, live music – from 2 years old
Inspired by the old paper-makers, Cerfs-volants invites children, through dance and music, to plunge into the living materials of paper: water and plants. Spectators, then actors, manipulate and transform the paper in turn in a living, evolving scenography, like a material that can be transformed ad infinitum, a symbol of permanence and links between people.
