A celestial voyage with the Star Keeper

During the school break, the Maison des arts opens its doors to

children aged 5 to 10, offering a performance of The Star Keeper, a

Théâtre de l’Oeil production. With finely carved puppets, accompanied

by music that brilliantly highlights the poetry of the narration,

this voyage toward the Milky Way is an unforgettable journey into

imagination and beauty.

While illuminating the night sky, Pierrot makes a star fall. Pretzel,

noticing this, scoops it up right away; what adventures they

encounter while trying to replace it! His quest will push him to

climb a spider’s thread, cross the dormitory of dreams, dive into

the ocean in hot pursuit of the pearlfish and resist the bewitching

charms of the bubble tamer.

Playing on contrasts and inspired by cinematic techniques, André

Laliberté and a few of his closest collaborators demonstrate clever

ingenuity. This production, which has literally toured the world, is

the recipient of three Masques from the Académie québécoise du

théâtre, and is the winner of a Chalmers Award awarded by the

Ontario Arts Council for Canadian theatre for young audiences.

March 4th at 3 p.m. and March 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th

at 1:30 p.m.

The cost for tickets to all shows is $12 for adults and children.
