Waves, All That Glows Sees

Waves, All That Glows Sees, a show by Véronique Co^té from Théa^tre des Confettis, is set to perform at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre with two performances on Saturday, January 13, 2024 at 9:15am and 11:00am. Part of SPOTLIGHT 2023-24 First Stages Series, Waves is a simple, gentle and poetic show for kids 18 months to four years old. The touring cast features Guy Daniel Tremblay and Frédéric Brunet.
The show is inspired by the quote “Tout ce qui brille voit” (All that glows sees), taken from Gaston Bachelard’s “La poétique de l’espace.” Their performers invite audiences to follow a quaint pathway of shells and stones leading to a tent made of sheets and sit inside the set. Inside, a tall man is dreaming of the sea. He makes sand appear, then turtles, seagulls and fish, and then dune grass, the sky, boats and the time that passes. Beside him, another man makes music and lets his voice float over the ocean. Sweet melodies calm the heart in this charming imaginary holiday to the sea.
