other · 2026-10-06

Laurent Fraunié and his company Label Brut present Coffre, a 45-minute puppet show for children aged 3 and up, at Théâtre Paris-Villette in Paris. The narrative follows a puppet child and an adult searching for a missing comfort blanket, traversing roller coasters, deserts, and shifts in scale within a world constructed entirely from cardboard and toy chests. The production concludes with a tangible action: a real tree to plant. Performances are scheduled during the Christmas holidays, with morning sessions on December 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30 at 10:30 AM, and Sunday shows on December 20 and 27 and January 3 at 11 AM, the latter accompanied by a brunch. The show runs from December 17, 2026, to January 3, 2027, at Théâtre Paris-Villette, 75019. Tickets range from 9 to 14 euros. Additional family outing ideas and current stage news are available in the publication's Famille section and theater coverage.
