Born from a flower and only a thumb-sized, Thumbelina is thrust into a world as strange as it is flamboyant. An invasive frog, a pretentious insect, a slightly shady mouse… Encounters happen at lightning speed!
Between musical numbers, humor, and gentle madness, our tiny heroine sets off to discover herself and the vast world.
A funny, sensitive, and high-energy show… Where we laugh, sing, and grow.
What the press says…
We laugh heartily, we tremble, and we delight in this duo of actress-singers (with a pianist!) with overflowing energy and charisma, and an assumed gentle madness. Bravo.TT Télérama
