They are seated, each on an edge of the world. The carefree North covered in mist and the happy Sùr bathed in sunshine. They are still too small to know how big the world is and how nasty it can be. But who has unleashed this deafening anger and dared to destroy the innocence of play areas? 

The sound universe of the show will allow children to discover music from very different backgrounds: Corelli, contemporary jazz, the song of whales, sound effects, a poem, contemporary music, dance music, music from the Ghana, and especially old 78 rpm records on phonograph.
