Original title
Une Peau d'âne : théâtre d'ombres au Funambule Montmartre
What you need to know
- Best for fluent French speakers, since parents' reviews note the vocabulary is rich and the story fairly complex
- The original, darker plot: the princess flees to escape her father, so be ready for questions on the way home
- Three performers on stage: a storyteller, an image maker running the shadow projections, and a cellist
About
Three performers from the Compagnie du Chameau tell Charles Perrault's Donkey Skin, the fairy tale of a princess who runs from her kingdom hidden under a donkey's hide. Shadow images are projected onto the storyteller's enormous dress while a cellist plays live. The storyteller voices about ten characters, with flashes of humor. The French text uses rich vocabulary, so it suits kids who follow French comfortably.
