Two feisty and free-spirited characters invite us into a secret party infused with a wonderful air of rebellion. Order is not a guest at this party: trample the cake with your shoes on and start your stories at the end. In fact, adults are not allowed in here. Well, okay, some might get a free pass, but only a few… because at the Dissidence Cabaret, kids rule all!
Partway between the worlds of carnival and burlesque, Une petite fête creates a space for gentle disobedience that joyfully shakes up the rules governing children’s daily lives. In a succession of acts led by a mischievous trio, what’s forbidden is transgressed and conventional, thwarted. A tribute to impertinence and freedom, sure to delight the very young!
