In this project, music, dance, word and multimedia complement each other. The basis of the performance is a musical composition by Maurice Ravel entitled "Ma Mère l'Oye" containing miniatures inspired by Charles Perraut's fairy tales: "Sleeping Beauty", "Little Tom Thumb", "The Green Serpent", "Beauty and the Beast" from the fairy tale collection "Contes de ma Mère l'Oye". Music is an excuse to tell a fairy tale by means of the theater of movement (e.g. through dance and pantomime). The individual parts of the suite are enriched by a narrative summarizing the plot of the fairy tale and introducing the action of individual movement scenes. This narrative is illustrated by slides and sonoric effects (mainly performed on percussion instruments).
