Ah, if books could be eaten! Through the story of a little boy who crunches the words with full teeth, Sylvain Maurice and Laurent Cuniot put on a moving opera for young audiences on the powers of reading. Henri is not quite a child like the others. As soon as he finds himself alone at home, he spends most of his time devouring – literally – each of the books in his library! Until you get sick. Because by taking too much refuge in an imaginary world, we forget to open up to others. A sublime voice, 3 instrumentalists, dreams projected onto a blank page… A marvelous introduction to opera, from an early age. Inspired by Oliver Jeffers' formidable youth tale, L'Enfant Inouï takes us into a burlesque and facetious universe, which speaks with simplicity of the feelings and desires so particular to childhood. Cradled by the caressing tone of opera singer Raphaële Kennedy, young and old are invited to discover opera from a child's perspective.
