Taking Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals as their starting point, musician Marc Melià and choreographer Louise Baduel have reimagined the classic work as an electro-pop adventure. Their colourful retelling follows the lives of animals large and small, conjured through abstract shapes, expressive movement, an abundance of textures, and original instruments built from everyday objects. As free-spirited as the imaginations of its youngest audience members!
