“Working with children is very special because it allows you to go to imaginary places where the doors are not yet closed at that age. These are still moments where you can completely immerse yourself in the universes, in the stories… Anything is possible.”
- Franck Willekens, author, composer, musician
During his residence, the Tandem à Plumes Company has collaborated with five classes of four schools in the territory, to Bucy-le-Long, Bazoches-et-Saint-Thibaut, Chassemy and Missy-sur-Aisne. Together they have created the Tribe(s) project, which led to the creation of a puppet show, which was performed in May 2023 at Fort de Condé in Chivres-Val, under the admiring gaze of families and residents.
Each creation of this tandem trip was an opportunity for the children to discover the many facets of the artistic universe of the company, and to explore all the stages of the process of writing a show (design of sets and sound universe, writing of texts and staging, creation and manipulation of puppets, etc.).
During the restitution, parents and inhabitants were able to discover the universes and stories of each of the tribes, imagined and created in class: lunar, explorers, charcoal, lights and troglodytes.
