- 4. La Boule Enchantée - The Heart of Rossignol’s Holiday Celebration
The Tintigny-Rossignol Cultural Center has kicked off its annual slate of year-end performances, delivering family-friendly entertainment as the season unfolds. This Saturday, Fithe Théâtre traveled to Gérouville to stage “La Boule enchantée,” a playful sand-drawing show designed for all ages.
Puppeteer Laurence Mottet guided live, ephemeral projections as the tale follows the magic of an enchanted ball that helps villagers make their wishes come true. After the performance, young audience members were invited to try drawing in the sand themselves, extending the enchantment for about 45 minutes and leaving families with a shared, tangible memory.
These end-of-year performances are a cherished tradition at the Rossignol cultural center,offering moments of joy for families during the Christmas period. The program continues this monday in Etalle with “Nanarette,” a production by the Furigond.es collective. places can be reserved here. A second show, “En barque,” scheduled for Tuesday, December 23 at Rossignol, is already sold out.
