Petit Pois

Alliance Française Vancouver presents Petit Pois, a Rendez-vous des familles (family meetup) event, on April 25 at 11 am.

A melodramatic tale that takes place across five scenes, Petit Pois tells the story of a little green pea, a survivor of a refugee camp from which he escaped. A military clown finds him in her vegetable garden and decides to help him, setting off on a worldwide journey in search of his family and homeland. Kids ages four to seven and their families are invited to follow the little pea over mountains, through valleys, across rivers, and into storms as he experiences wonder, tears, and laughter along the way.

This poetic, tragicomic, and delightfully absurd tale blends object theatre, clowning, physical theatre, and visual arts to delicately explain to young audiences what it means to be uprooted, confined, and rejected.

Petit Pois takes place in French without subtitles. Tickets and more details are available here.
