A theatrical and musical tale based on Alphonse Daudet, for ages 4 to 10, directed by Philippe Gouin, with Marie Simon and Camille Muzard. ALL SAINTS’ HOLIDAYS 2026. TT Télérama. Alphonse Daudet’s great classic of children’s literature comes to life in a lively, musical adaptation recounting the story of a little goat longing for freedom! Monsieur Seguin had owned six goats, all of which he had lost in the same way. One fine day, they would break free from their ropes and he would never find them again. Undeterred, he acquired a seventh goat and named her Blanquette. Unfortunately for him, she may have craved freedom even more than her predecessors, even if it meant taking risks. Faithful to Daudet’s text, Blanquette will take you on her extraordinary adventure, brimming with inventiveness and leaving plenty of room for the imagination. The “ending” is suggested with great poetry and gentleness—a beautiful way to introduce children to this story. Through a skilful interplay of narration and action, the two actresses transport young audiences into a world of poetry, humour, songs, object theatre, shadows, puppetry and lighting effects, changing costumes and sets throughout the story. This adaptation perfectly captures the poetic symbolism of the quest for absolute freedom at the heart of the most famous goat story in children’s literature, enhanced by an ingenious visual style. Acclaimed by the press, including a TT rating from Télérama, this production remains faithful to Alphonse Daudet’s original text and immerses young audiences in a bubble of poetry, humour and song, while accompanying adults can indulge in gentle nostalgia. Poetry, humour, visual beauty and music come together in this timeless classic!
