About
The Nutcracker, told as an intimate musical tale. Marie gets a wooden nutcracker on Christmas Eve, the toys wake at midnight, the Mouse King attacks, and the story ends in the Kingdom of Sweets. It plays out on stage and on a big screen, with Tchaikovsky's music, live narration and hand-painted watercolors. It suits kids who can follow a story told in French.
