An engaging show
On stage, 180 dancers and actors plunge spectators into the spellbinding world of an oriental tale, in the heart of the desert, between mystery and wonder.
For his 10th birthday, Sélim, son of the sultan, chooses a puppet from among the treasures brought back by a mysterious merchant. Before long, he discovers that the gift contains an extraordinary secret...
His older sister Zaïna, deprived of the same privileges as a girl, vacillates between jealousy and a thirst for equality.
This tale tackles themes such as the struggle for freedom, the condition of women around the world and manipulation in all its forms.
A journey imbued with emotion and courage, in which each character bears the hope of a fairer world.
Aimed at young and old alike, the show is performed by our actors and dancers in a variety of dance styles: contemporary, classical, modern jazz, hip-hop and theater.
This is the 13th production by Hélène Pochelon, head of École Hélia, in collaboration with all the teachers.
