Être Surya • Spectacle de Lucie Hanoy

With "Être Surya", Lucie Hanoy delivers a joyful and political coming-of-age story that questions societal injunctions on the body, norms, and self-transcendence. A tribute to the power of children's dreams and to those who dare to be themselves, despite everything.

Madie is 13 years old. She dreams of aerial acrobatics on ice, glitter, and freedom. But at school, she's mocked: they say she's “too heavy” to fly. So, to find the strength to assert her legitimacy, she draws inspiration from the journey of her idol, Surya Bonaly – a figure skating champion and a symbol of resistance against social norms and racial discrimination. Lucie Hanoy brings their two journeys into dialogue – that of a little girl finding her place and that of an accomplished athlete refusing to conform to rules – to explore this pivotal age when one leaves childhood for adolescence, in search of identity and role models. Their stories also speak to us of passion, glittery bodysuits, power, stars, and backflips.

A fun and accessible workshop to discover the world of “muppet”-style puppets by making your own character, with Lucie Hanoy and the Big Up company. Using a simple technique primarily involving kraft paper, you will learn to build your own puppet before bringing it to life through manipulation, play, and expression exercises. You will gradually experience the relationship between the form, the gesture, and the personality of the character you invent. No prerequisites are necessary: the workshop is designed to be open to everyone, regardless of your skill level. At the end of the session, you will leave with your puppet and with the basics to continue bringing it to life at home. A fun and creative souvenir to take home, ideal for extending play and imagination at home or sharing these moments with family and friends.
