Born in a stable, Mary sweetly puts Jesus on a bed of hay as animals gaze upon the Christ-child. Included is the verse “Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, and take us to heaven to live with Thee there.”

Une promenade sonore durant laquelle les tout-petits, comme les plus grands, pourront se laisser porter par deux voix, celle d'un adulte et celle d'une enfant, qui cheminent ensemble au milieu des sons de la nature (des silences aussi parfois), des notes de musique et des bruits du quotidien. Au cours de cette déambulation immersive à la rencontre de délicieux sons, on goûte à d'exquises salades de bruits et à des jeux de mots croquants.

Rose revient d'un voyage à New York. Dans l'avion, elle fait la rencontre de Woody, un guitariste qui lui joue une ballade folk, la chanson de Martin. Ce morceau, dans la tradition des protest songs, raconte l'histoire d'un petit garçon noir dans l'Amérique raciste et ségrégationniste des années 1930. L'avion enclenche sa descente sur Paris et Woody disparaît. Rose ne se souvient que de quelques bribes de l'histoire de Martin. Mais elle ne pense plus qu'à ça.

"De nen no tenia televisió. La música a través de la ràdio era la meitat del meu món, ja que l'altra el formava la literatura, devorar llibres.

I això és el que ha volgut transmetre'ns Jordi Sierra i Fabra, el mestre de la literatura infantil i juvenil, a través de les pàgines d'aquesta atípica òpera.

Follow along and learn how The Nutcracker came to be performed all across the United States from these truly humble beginnings.
