Performed by an international cast, LE MOULIN MAGIQUE is an ecological fable guaranteed to appeal to family audiences and all students of French - young and old.
The Mill does not turn. The Land is barren. The dastardly landlord demands rent. Jean-Pierre, the poor miller, appeals to the Wind and the Rain for help. A fantastical journey, strange weather, magic and mischief ensue. A delightful and humorous celebration of life using comedy, clowning, puppetry and specially commissioned masks from Trestle Theatre Company. LE MOULIN MAGIQUE was full of live atmospheric music, fast-paced action and startling comic invention.
A magical, mythical chuckle of a show.
