SATURDAY NOVEMBER 11

In connection with the show Waré Mono 

5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Main stage

And what if, instead of throwing away our broken toys, we mended them: what would become of their cracks if we covered them with gold powder? Would they become more beautiful? 

Based on the Japanese art of kintsugiThe TJP's garderie - transformed into an ephemeral hospital for broken toys - invites children to take care of these objects. With their flaws making them unique, children will honor them by decorating them, then they'll be invited to tell the real or fantasized story of the toy they've brought (wooden or plastic toy, stuffed animal, doll, etc.) And what stories do your toy's wounds tell?

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9

In connection with the show Dear

5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Main stage

Who hasn't lost something dear to them? Sometimes its disappearance creates in us a lack by its absence. We'll be discussing the objects we've lost in this artistic workshop, which resonates with the work of several artists (painter René Magritte and visual artists Liu Bolin and Cecilia Paredes). The children will try their hand at a variety of plastic techniques, drawing inspiration from the plastic principles visible in the works to address these open yet intimate questions of loss and lack, presence and absence, and attachment. Those wishing to do so will be able to write a letter to their beloved lost object, and express their feelings at the microphone in the TJP phone booth.

And you, what object did you lose? And where do you imagine it now?

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16

In connection with the show My favorite color

5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Main stage

What's your favorite color? And do you know why? We'll talk about our preferences for certain shades, and with Anna Llenas' pop-up book The color of emotions, we'll be thinking about the color we might assign to our moods. 
We'll focus on the characteristics of facial expressions that communicate our emotions, using well-known works of art as a starting point, and have fun reproducing them in mimicry, then painting them into a host of expressive faces! What color would a fearful, happy or angry face be? As a final touch, we'll play with our perception of these painted faces using colored theater lights. Come and experience the transformative powers and magic that colored light can have on your painting!

By the way, did you know that mixing shades gives different results depending on whether the color is made of matter or light? 

This workshop involves painting: bring a large T-shirt that can get dirty, an apron or a smock..

SATURDAY, JANUARY 27

In connection with the show A.N.G.S.T.

5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Main stage

Fear is a natural emotion that we can't control, and which invades us to tell us to be careful. Through the book There's a nightmare in my closet by Mercer Mayer, we'll look at fear: how does it manifest itself in our bodies? When do we feel it and why? How do we react to it? Once we've explored our fears, we'll role-play them in the form of shadow monsters, staged photographically with props and lighting.

What are your biggest fears? 
Come and confront them by becoming what scares you, or by ridiculing what scares you...

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3

In connection with the show MA_Creature

5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Main stage

Anyone who says they've never disobeyed is lying! We'll put our cards on the table, recounting our biggest rebellions, and try to explain why we disobeyed at those moments, and what it felt like to do so. Through physical and role-playing games, in pairs or groups, we'll have fun playing with established rules, shaking them up as we see fit. We'll then try to render our disobedience in plastic form, using cut-out images. What does freedom of choice mean for ourselves and others? What are your most frequent disobediences?

SATURDAY APRIL 13

In connection with the show The night the day dawned

Main stage
4 to 8 years

What's important to you and makes you want to commit to doing something? What would you do out of love for other people, or out of conviction or anger?

In this session, we'll look at what drives us and makes us want to take action. We'll try to express this commitment in drawing and writing, in the form of posters, so that we can proclaim loud and clear what we're capable of doing out of love, conviction or anger!
