Jean-Michel Rabeux, a big fan of Charles Perrault’s, has decided to tell La Belle au bois dormant his own way. He has kept from the original story: the initiatory woods, the forbidden spindle, the hundred-year-long sleep, the good and bad fairies and the kiss given by the more than charming prince. The worse, much worse, is yet to come. Indeed, the prince’s mother is an ogress who wants to eat everybody around her. Here she has become a very nice mother, queen of finance willing to marry his son so he gives her lots of rich ogre-like grandchildren, who will end up in her own marmite. You will also see a smooth-talking lion, a rustic wolf, a impassive hunter, a beating-on-its-own torn apart heart, a twisted prince, a drone, rollers and flowers, a running-away doe, magic potions and many other elements that belong to a fairy tale. The children face here the depth of souls. The bad guys will be punished and the happy ending is guaranteed. Our sweet toddlers have not yet experienced the despair we know all too well.

For all audiences, starting from 6 years old
