It is a fascinating journey through time.
A horde of illuminated bears move around accompanied by extravagant dancers. A charming Master of Ceremonies walks on stilts and guides the whole procession.
Travelers without borders, they migrate from town to town carrying the show on their shoulders. A strange caravan emerges in the street resembling the beginning of the century. Town criers, peddlers, street elixir sellers, acrobats and bear tamers get together to offer us a sublime dance. 
These fascinating giants bring us dream and surprise. 
The graceful ballet offers an incredible discovery and an unbelievable encounter. 

The artists come from France
