What the artists don’t want
Summary
À première vue, Paul-Émile Dumoulin est un bibliothécaire tout à fait comme les autres. Il est sérieux, fier et soucieux de l’ordre : ses rayons sont impeccables et chaque livre est à sa place. Le hic, c’est que dès qu’il met le nez dans un livre, la réalité disparaît et laisse place aux univers un peu fous découverts au fil de ses lectures. Au gré des aventures qu’il découvre, le sage bibliothécaire se transforme. Jusqu’où la lecture le mènera-t-il ? Ce spectacle entremêle le jeu clownesque, le théâtre physique et le cirque. Il convie le jeune public à découvrir la passion de la lecture et la puissance de l’imaginaire, celle qui emporte le lecteur dans un pays lointain, une aventure, une histoire d’amour ou de suspens.
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.
