Presentation

“Monsieur Croche” is a show of actors, puppets and masks for children, with Claude Debussy piano music performed live.

In this show, we stage an imaginary dream in which the composer Claude Debussy and his wife, Emma Bardac, travel to a fantastic island. In this charmed place of mermaids, exotic birds, giant insects and other magical beings, the composer finds inspiration to create new music. After this experience, the couple will return to the Paris of the Belle Époque, from where Debussy over the years will spread his music around the world.
