We offer the children a show that opens the scope of reading and comprehension. A sign can easily hide another sign. Where they come from, those signs we write our stories with?
We offer a space to be read, we create several grounds where the storytellers use various tools, as puppets, shadows, masks, sound, lights... Playing all that, they tell stories that shed light on the issues of the main character: A, a child who has been received by dogs after a big chaos in the human world. In a playful spirit, the signs become intermingled in order to make sense and write a story inviting to read the flight of the birds. Then, when the situation we are in is that of barking humans an dogs speaking the universal language of caresses, we have to trust the animal signs, to trust the living. This show says to us how important it is to tell stories and to make them travel.
