A librarian, a thousand worlds, and a lot of acrobatics! 

At first glance, Paul-Émile Dumoulin is just a regular librarian like any other. He’s serious, with great pride and a concern for order. Every book is in its place on his impeccable shelves. The only problem? As soon as Paul-Émile gets his nose in a book, reality disappears, giving way to the somewhat crazy worlds he finds between the pages. On his adventures, the very sensible librarian transforms. He suddenly turns into strange and silly characters who perform acrobatics, balancing, juggling, break dancing, and beatboxing. Just how far will reading take him? 

  • Duration 50 minutes

  • Le Gros Orteil

    Blending clowning, theatre, and the circus arts, Le Gros Orteil creates high-quality shows for young audiences. Because children are nuggets of spontaneity and overflowing imagination, the shows are largely focused on the imaginary, travel, and dreams. Breaking the fourth wall, the artists bring the children into their stories, their emotions, and their thoughts.
