Ensemble Kroft

 

The forest orchestra artfully brings the magic of the forest into the city.
A forest ranger invites guests into a special kind of sound space, as a specially developed soundtrack fills the installation.
Forest sounds mingle with the passing sounds of various instruments.Something is running through the undergrowth. Aren't these wild ducks quacking rhythmically? A thunderstorm arises and disappears in soft piano sounds.
Visitors can add their own sound to this finely crafted acoustic space. With sound instruments that can be discovered in the installation.
There are only delicate tones, so that everyone can sound together like in a large forest orchestra.
Or guests can simply relax on beautiful deckchairs and enjoy the time and the special place.

Theatre de la Tupine

 

CAULDRON Created in 2025 Eco-musical-culinary carousel powered by children

After parent-powered carousels, here comes the very first child-powered carousel !

When kids transform into vegetables and take their seats in the cauldron, the little chefs get to work—turning the potato masher, the frying pan, and the mincer to set the carousel spinning. A slow-cooked stew of little ones, seasoned to perfection!

In an authentic copper cauldron once used for cheese-making, our “vegetable” sculptures become comfortable seats where children settle in. Wrapped in dyed leather, these unique creations—mushroom, carrot, cabbage, leek, fennel, pepper, aubergine—gently spin to cook up the most delicious soup. Steam rises, the carousel turns, it bubbles and gurgles to the lively tunes of an accordion, a trumpet, or a flute.

KALUMALU / DE

 

"Margarete's Tailorshop" rescues clothes and gets the production back to the village. The audience empties their wardrobes and becomes part of the production process.
Up to seven pieces of clothing may be donated to be given away, made prettier or to be recycled.
Kasimir and Margarete open the event with a sowing-machine ballet-performance and make sure that everybody finds a job.
Cutting, tearing, weaving, ironing, sowing, measuring, cord making and waving little flags.
The performance ends with a presentation of the goods created. A pleasure to be part of or witness. Lets delve into the textile adventure.
The project can be performed for and with 2 to 100 spectators. As a theatrical event for 60 to 90 minutes or as an animated installation for 2 to 6 hours. It works on its own or as part of a festival.
