From 4:30 PM, the audience was welcomed in the hall with a snack by Emray, Director of Cultural Affairs, and Delphine Gloron, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Citizenship. The Pablo Picasso hall then filled with spectators to experience a sensory show led by two puppeteers, Xavier DEPOIX and Aurélie MEST, who also directed the performance. They were accompanied by the inventive musician Olivier LERAT.
« Hulul » is an adaptation of five stories from the eponymous album, a classic of children's literature written in 1975 by Arnold LOBEL. Children were captivated by this funny, naive, and dreamy philosopher owl, who asks existential and quirky questions about his daily life, all within an imaginative scenography.
After the performance, children had the opportunity to interact with the artists during a backstage chat, leaving enchanted. This show was part of the Champs de la Marionnette festival, presented by the Compagnie Daru-Thémpô, led by Christian Chabaud and Nicolas Charentin, who were present. The company also invites the public for a free visit to its « Manipularium » creation space in Ollainville on Sunday, November 15th.
The La Norville Town Hall warmly thanked the Compagnie Daru-Thémpô, as well as Isabelle Fournier Le Blanc from the Department's Cultural Affairs Directorate, Sandra Sturt from the CAC de Brétigny, and representatives from various entities including Les Hivernales and the MJC de Corbeil. Special thanks were extended to the La Norville Cultural Service team, particularly Emray and Olivier.
