Description
One night, Lou was woken by a loud noise.
What caused the noise? Where did it come from?
In the dark, Lou walks through her house. She no longer recognizes anything. Brave and determined, she faces her fears, one step at a time.
Location: Grande Salle, Place des Arts
Age: 4 to 8 years old
Duration: 45 minutes
During the daytime, Lou is not afraid of her house. She plays in her bedroom and in the hall.
Very rarely in the living room.
Never on the stairs.
And especially not in the basement . . .
Oh no, not there!
One night, Lou was woken by a loud noise.
What caused the noise? Where did it come from?
Then a voice spoke to Lou. Softly. Calmly. It seemed to come . . .
From the stairs?
Or maybe . . .
From the basement?
Guided by this kind — but sometimes annoying – voice, Lou left her bedroom and began to explore her pitch-black house. She heard ominous sounds, pipes that hiccupped, floors and stairs that creaked . . . The furniture began to move right before her eyes, turning into beasts that had to be tamed. Lou opened doors that were closed, clutching their knobs as they moved . . . After making her way through the house she no longer recognized, she found herself in front of that door… The one that was always locked and opened onto . . . the basement. Lou, who was just 7 years old, hesitated. Her neck tensed up. She began to breathe faster. A long shiver ran down her spine.
Lou was torn between fear and curiosity. Would she go down the stairs?
