The Birds Are Tales Told to You, An Adventure in Words and Music for Young and Old Alike

Guided by the wise hoopoe, the birds, peacock, nightingale, and duck, displayed in the museum’s collections awaken from their torpor. Their reactions, thoughts, and voices call out to us, echoing our own lives and archetypes. The initiatory journey begins in a space marked by fear, reluctance, hesitation, and flashes of bravado. From there, it unfolds along a spiral path into the unknown. Each step, like a trial, rises before them, and the adventurers in this quest for self-knowledge must face it. Renunciations, wavering, external obstacles, but above all the internal ones, propel them forward, until the ultimate revelation, where the Simorgh awaits.

The Company Peu Importe

Since its creation in 2006, the Company Peu Importe has been creating shows and developing performances throughout France and Europe in the fields of theatre, writing, dance, education and coaching.
Taking care of all those little details, all those “little things” (Peu) that “matter” (Importe) in life, to ensure that this modest artistic “little thing” (Peu) is powerful enough to “matter”(Importe) deeply and find resonance in society.

This adaptation is presented in French.
