Fly Flee Flow - With art and talent, Nicolas Duchamp and Morgane Raoux lead us through the world of classical music in a fairytale about an imaginary castle. Designed for children ages 3-11 years, Fly Flee Flow has been performed at theatres, cultural centres and children's festivals in France, Canada and Africa. The approach is simple and entertaining, designed to appeal to children and make them dream and laugh. The show is interactive and children participate by creating musical sound effects. Each piece of music illustrates an episode in the story.
All pieces of music used come from classical music repertoire: Bizet, Chopin, Mozart, Schumann, Verdi and Brahms. Children, through their identification with the story's characters and the events are led to form a relationship between the different types of situations experienced and the specific character of each piece of music. |
