les pieds

A family dinner. And in the middle of the living room, a giant acacia. In Avec les pieds, Jeanne Desoubeaux blends theatre and music to compose a funny and joyfully offbeat tale, where the irruption of the Other comes to disturb the most established habits.

At the Moute household, everything begins as usual. Or almost. Because this tree, which appeared without warning, disrupts the family balance. The Father opposes it, clinging to his certainties. The Mother lets it happen, with an inexplicable lightness.

The Child, a strange and luminous figure, opens another path, one of curiosity. Written by Nicole Genovese, with live music composed by Jérémie Arcache, this burlesque and sensitive fable makes this vegetal emergence a driver of transformation.

The tree becomes what displaces, worries, and forces a change of perspective. Accessible to young audiences, this mischievous story plays on contrasts, between humour and unease, absurdity and emotion.

An invitation to welcome the unexpected, and to look differently at what grows, there, in the middle of our lives.
