What happens when a sleep-deprived boy discovers that his stuffed toy talks?

The two of them embark on a journey to the enchanted realm of dreams, where they meet characters as funny as they are unexpected and endearing! Everything that keeps him awake - impatience, anger, fatigue and even jealousy - evaporates thanks to the magic and sparkle of imaginary animals and their surprising songs!

An original way to discover the music of Jacques Offenbach in a playful, joyful context, with excerpts from operas such as Orphée aux Enfers, Voyage dans la lune, La vie parisienne, Les contes d’Hoffmann…

This musical is an adaptation of À Quand le Cancan !
