A gentle show designed to introduce the youngest children to the art of puppetry.
Laure-Isabelle Blanchet has created hats even wilder than those worn at England’s famous horse races. Her headpieces, like true theatrical machines, warp, spin, bloom and then wither, unfurl, and soon disappear, making way for the next poetic world to be discovered. LE COCKPIT is an association founded in 2013 whose creative approach aims to move and challenge the audience to reflect on their relationship with humanity by exploring, through puppets, the concept of the double. The puppets thus facilitate a dialogue between the personal and the universal and offer a unique representation of the world.
Gibus the cat seems to have run away. To go look for him in the neighborhood, Mam’zelle Chapeau needs a hat. She then pulls hats—each one wilder than the last—out of her round boxes. On the puppeteer’s head, a house spins, a flower blooms, a tree watches the seasons pass, and a beach offers its summer games. Bibi, a tiny little companion, starts up a racket on the musical hat and sends his marbles tumbling down a pointed hat. He scamper about and marvels at these worlds perched high above. But who on earth is hiding in the last box?
