A concert for young audiences, composed in a poetic and humorous spirit, featuring unexpected, often overlooked and sometimes non-existent animals.

This carnival of timbres, colors and dynamics goes beyond a simple rereading of the existing repertoire (Saint-Saëns, Prokofiev....), and is carried by four virtuoso poly-instrumentalists, capable of adapting to different representations of the animal.

It's a participatory show, with all the necessary material provided beforehand: songs, body-rhythms, scores...
From quartet to choir, this project takes different forms.

A show that awakens children's imaginations...

In 2027, following the success of the show, Tous Dehors hopes to develop it into a musical theater production. The creative team will be made up of young artists who will design the staging, set design, costumes, and script for this new Fabulous carnival of other animals.
In order to bring the animals represented in the music to life and provide a narrative thread for the audience, a storyteller will be present on stage. The artists will wear different costumes throughout the show. The set design, lighting, and the artists' numerous interactions and movements on stage will accentuate the humorous and theatrical aspects of the work. 

The main aim of the project is to offer a show for young audiences of all ages (including middle and elementary school students).
