Amour, Gloire et Ciment!

Johanny Bertcontemporary puppetsTardieu HallEstimated duration 1h15In partnership with Le Mouffetard – Centre national de la MarionnetteContemporary farce for political puppetsBehind the tulips and rose bushes, where the grass is always greener, lives a united and joyful community of garden gnomes.

Why so many dramas and political, societal issues in theatre? Here at last is an optimistic show with daisies, shining sun and singing birds (tweet tweet). Behind the tulips and rose bushes, where the grass is always greener, lives a united and joyful community of garden gnomes.

Far from being merely decorative, these kitsch pop objects are attentive to each other and convinced that every day deserves to be celebrated. Everyone has their role and function, and the harmony is joyful. They take care of their small world with contagious benevolence.

Everyone shares the same conviction: happiness grows when cultivated together.
