La petite ombre de Tom
Shadow theater
From preschool to kindergarten
20 minutes
Tom is frightened by his shadow, which follows him everywhere he goes. So one evening, on his way home from school, he decides to run away, leaving behind the double that worries him so much. Distraught, the shadow sets off in search of him: from the forest to the mountains, from the savannah to the big city, it is the beginning of many adventures to find Tom…
Le bel après-minuit offers a short version of L’Ombre de Tom. This shorter version of the show allows us to visit schools and tell the story in a different way. Using paper and illustrations by Claire Cantais, the two puppeteers bring Tom’s adventures to life to the rhythm of music by Gaspard Guilbert. This gentle and delicate setting encourages children to reflect on the need to take risks in order to grow.
