Grande Ourse - Petite Ourse|Work in Development Showing

Foolish Operations invites very young audiences (6 months - 2yrs) and their caregivers into the theatre for an open showing of the work in development followed by a cozy discussion and light snack in the Exhibition Hall.

About the work

Foolish Operations will be in residency at the Roundhouse creating and exploring their new work-in-development, Grande Ourse - Petite Ourse this coming January 2025. Grande Ourse - Petite Ourse, a commission from Théâtre la Seizième, is in its very early stages of creative process, set to premiere in 2026. Grande Ourse - Petite Ourse is an ode to the stars, a reminder we are all under the night sky, in relation with the stars above us, and in order to maintain this timeless relationship with the stars who have watched over our ancestors, ourselves and our current children, we are called to care for our planet.
