Florent can’t take it anymore – he’s had enough of keeping all his cries bottled up inside. He’s desperately searching for somewhere to unleash an avalanche of lamentations and sorrows. Until the day he finds shelter at the foot of the Rockies, as if someone had beckoned him there. As he starts to scream, an echo deep within the mountains, like a gravelly voice, answers.
A hit with young audiences and adapted into four languages, this theatrical and musical tale features a vibrant duo guaranteed to surprise the little ones! Full of rhythm and live percussion, Le Criard offers a cathartic performance dotted with poetic notes, encouraging children to listen to the emotions rumbling through them and to embrace them in a healthy way.
