As part of the Calgary International Children's Festival, May 22 - 26, win tickets for "3-Legged Tale" / "Sur 3 Pattes" by Théâtre de l'Œil, Québec, at Martha Cohen Theatre - Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts.
At the heart of the forest, a squirrel digs in the garbage and finds a camera on a tripod. A butterfly touches down and the camera springs to life, venturing forth, his wide eyes trying to take in the secrets of the little people who live in the undergrowth. This romance without words, in which the puppets and shadow play poetically, evokes ecological issues of the forest today.
""With Théâtre de l'Œil, we have become accustomed over the years to veritable journeys into the imagination... this is certainly no exception to the rule." (Le Devoir)

Length : 55 minutes

Of all the people in the land of Tran Tran Troo, the most famous is certainly the Great Lady La - she who can make the water sing. On this hot summer night, Tran Tran Troo dries up and the Great Lady La is left without a voice. Luckily for us, the Great Lady La's two children set out to find a new source of water so that they can hear their mother's song again... and so begins a great adventure which takes place here, there, and everywhere.
