Le nom des choses

Children's capacity for astonishment is infinite, and the La Bocca della Luna company draws on it for material conducive to its shows for young audiences in which we laugh and reflect, together.

In this new creation, we rediscover the whimsy and inventiveness of Muriel Imbach, already welcomed at Le Quai with À l'envers, à l'endroit, and who continues her singular work inspired by multiple encounters with children mixing mediation, theater and philosophy.
"Why is a table called a table and not a schling? And if it were called a schling, would it still be used to eat around?". This is one of the linguistic questions posed in Le nom des choses. What is the relationship between the names of things and their realities? This is the question that inhabits the five protagonists of this story, who, at the heart of an airy scenography full of surprises, have fun deconstructing language and the words that make it up, then play with it surrealistically, to the delight of the spectators.
