How can we live well together with our differences?
Show summary
An elderly woman, both meticulous and reclusive, is threatened by the sudden presence of a dashing young man in her home. Each one having their own secrets, habits and pasts, they open up to each other in a very special-sounding kitchen. This impromptu meeting has many surprises in store for them both!
The two characters are accompanied on their journey into the heart of music by two onstage musicians, creating musical moments that are comical, surprising and positive in a lively kitchen unlike any other. The show addresses themes of listening, sharing, helping one another and intergenerational relations.

Why do children go on cultural outings?
School outings help to make learning meaningful by bringing pupils into direct contact with the natural or cultural environment.
They bring children face to face with reality, elicit astonishment and emotions, and offer new perspectives.
They also draw on children’s social, motor and cognitive skills.
They help children learn about living in a community and establishing relationships between adults and children who are different from those in the class.
Outings are not simply something “extra,” but provide a unique opportunity for personal and collective reflection that will be meaningful for students throughout their years at school.
Tips to enrich the experience
Steer away from the usual questions in order to share a moment with your child.
Let me guess
With your face and/or body, express without using words what you felt during the outing. Now it’s my turn to express without words what I was feeling during the day.
Sharing thoughts to have sweet dreams
Before we turn out the lights, tell me something from the show that you’d like to dream about. Now it’s my turn to share an image or something positive that I experienced today and that I’d also like to dream about.
If you were the person who created this show
