Amour, Gloire et Ciment! Johanny Bert contemporary puppets, Salle Tardieu. Estimated running time 1h15. In partnership with Le Mouffetard – Centre national de la Marionnette. Contemporary farce for political puppets.

Behind the tulips and rose bushes, where the grass is always greener, lives a united and joyful community of garden gnomes. Why so much drama and political, societal issues in theatre? Here at last is an optimistic show with daisies, shining sun and singing birds (tweet tweet). Behind the tulips and rose bushes, where the grass is always greener, lives a united and joyful community of garden gnomes. Far from being merely decorative, these kitsch pop objects are attentive to each other and convinced that every day deserves to be celebrated. Each has their role and function, and the harmony is joyful. They take care of their little world with contagious benevolence. Everyone shares the same conviction: happiness grows when cultivated together. However, some scenes in the show may be upsetting for those under 14.
