She draws on their spontaneity, curiosity and ability to approach the world with endless questions. <strong>This perception of childhood is at the heart of the company&#8217;s approach<\/strong>. The shows play on feelings, the unspoken, the multiplicity of possible interpretations and the poetic power of images.  <\/p>\n<p>While primarily aimed at young audiences, her shows seek to appeal to the child in every spectator. <strong>The desire to bring together all audiences guides the choice of topics covered<\/strong>. B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Guichardon champions powerful subjects that immediately stir emotions and have universal appeal. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The company explores a wide variety of theatrical languages:<\/strong> object theatre, storytelling, shadow theatre, physical theatre and music.
