Young Audiences - Large Space

Oh, the misery! There are way too many stars up there!

Ellie is passionate about astronomy, but this passion makes her head spin a little. She wants to know everything, understand everything, and repeat everything... Why this obsession? Because she has a secret: far, far away, at the heart of the stars, there might be a way to travel back in time!

Her goal is as serious as it is improbable: to organize a big party for time travelers (based on an idea by physicist Stephen Hawking) in an attempt to invite the past back and mend life’s little mishaps.

Through ingenious models, playful humor, and direct interactions with the audience, Ellie introduces children to the speed of light, light-years, and the mysteries of the solar system. A luminous and mischievous fable about childhood, learning, and the precious moments shared with those we love.

What the press is saying:
“A little gem of scientific theater where humor serves as a compass. Chrystel Rochas embodies a sparkling and captivating heroine.” — Lyon Culture
"A poetic and intelligent production that succeeds in making astrophysics accessible and fun for even the youngest children." — Le Progrès

The audience loves it:
"An intelligent, funny, and extremely poetic show. My kids loved learning about the mysteries of the stars while having fun!”
“The music is magnificent, and Ellie’s performance is touchingly sincere. A perfect shared experience for the whole family.”
