Baby Space Opera (Grande Ourse - Petite Ourse) - Foolish Operations

In Baby Space Opera (Grande Ourse - Petite Ourse in French), families gather under our shared night sky to reflect on the possibility of the child being our guiding star. This is Foolish Operations' new performance for babies and all their adults. This project is a co-production with Théâtre la Seizième, which will premiere in May 2026. The theme calls for a poetry of the senses: dancing within projections of stars and galaxies, songs, and characters in stunning costumes inspired by the constellations of Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, and their stars. Baby Space Opera is an ode to our collective night sky. Created especially for the youngest humans and their adults, this captivating exploration of the senses invites us to reflect on our relations with constellations that have guided humans since the dawn of time. Starry projections, waltzes of nebulae, the birth of stars, and a visit of Ursa Major and Northern Lights are poetically intertwined in a suspended moment that awakens the imagination for the memory of past generations and the dreams of those just beginning. The theme calls for the integration of a poetry of the senses: video projections of stars, nebulae, light, colour, and shiny materials in props, costumes, and sets, or through movement and music.
