Vous avez dit Baroque ?

Following an artistic introduction based on three fables by Jean de La Fontaine (The Grasshopper and the Ant, The Lion and the Gnat, and The Wolf and the Lamb), Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière, Géraldine Moreau-Geoffrey, and Pierre-François Dollé will join the audience in exploring the unique characteristics of the Baroque era and the "Grand Siècle."

We will have fun with the language of La Fontaine and Molière using historical pronunciation; the musicians will present Baroque instruments; we will learn the basics of fencing; and finally, we will dive into a dance lesson where all children are invited to follow a... rather eccentric Dance Master!

A friendly and festive occasion for everyone to understand and admire the courtly skills of the Sun King's era. The secrets of the Baroque world will be revealed to you!
